MNFish would it be hard to scale up slightly? Say to a 2 CFM pump?
Throughout the aerator development, design requirements were set for smaller, shallow, highly Eutropic waters.
Some random thoughts:
- I'm sure the system could be scaled up. At what cost, not sure.
- Knowing what I know now and what's available, I would go with a 24V system. Finding a "disposable" pump that could withstand my conditions, at a reasonable price, was a real challenge.
- Deeper water with these types of pumps could be a limiting factor
- Newer battery technology may be something to look into. My original designs failed when using batteries and the brutal cold. Also, the key to this system working in bitter cold is the very slow start up of the pump.
