If you are pushing air 1300ft (440yds) be sure to PROPERLY size your air line ID so as to not cause excessive backpressure at the compressor. Rocking piston compressors due to their higher working pressure are better suited for pushing air long distance. Don't skimp on initial investment. Do good due diligence as homework so you have ample air volume in the pond so you can operate a larger or more diffuser/s moving more gallons per hour so you don't have to run the compressor long hours in a small 1/4ac. Ideally with the right system, you would only need to run the pump 2-3 hr/day for one circulation resulting in Long pump life and low annual electrical cost.
