Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Correct setup?

You could use that 12" one in the shallow area for winter to keep an area ice free (if your pond freezes over in the winter) and use most likely 2 of the Vertex ones in the deepest part. Check their lifting rates and calculate the total gallons in your pond. See if one will turn your pond in the length of time you want to run your compressor during the summer for each day. If one will lift the number of gallons you need to bring to the surface, you only need one. If not, then you have to use two.

You only need 1 gauge, but you will also need a pop-off valve so you don't over pressure the system is something blocks the airline. You don't want to stall out the compressor and burn it out.

As for a cabinet, anything that will house the compressor and will also hold a fan to suck air into the cabinet to keep the compressor relatively cool. You will need a "larger than furnished with the compressor" intake air filter too.

If I remember I will take a picture of what we did at a customers place for them tomorrow. There is no compressor cabinet because the compressor is inside a large shed.
