After heaving rains my aeration does not let my pond settle out so the pond is muddy color almost the entire summer. I have tested and it is mechanical turbidity that settles out in less than a week. I have a 3 acre, 29 acre feet pond with a Vertex Air 4 diffuser system that turns over the pond 2.14 time per day. The diffusers are on metal supports off the bottom. If I want to cut off aeration for a few days after major rain events to let the suspended clay particles settle, how long can i do so before having to do the start-up process over again? The Vertex tech claims i can cut it off for a week and a half with out having to restart the system. Does that sound correct??? I have a decent biomass.
