Well pretty confused but then again this is all new to me. I have no idea how much water they're currently moving. It's being powered by a 5.8 CFM 3/4 horsepower compressor. I can say that it bubbles quite a bit at top I mean it creates about 3in boil over at least vertically and seems to be moving quite a bit of water. I restricted aerator 1 since it's closer to the compressor to put off what visually looks like the same amount of air. Again, aerator 2 is in what would be the deep area. I guess I could move aerator 1 over there as well. They've been running 24/7 for over 3 weeks maybe a month and I get no foul smell but yet they're obviously is no change in the water that's 8 ft Plus.
I might stay out there overnight tonight and if I do I'll take a reading in the morning before I go to work and see if those readings are different then during the middle of the day. I understand that I could turn them off and see about any algae change but since that's under control my current goal is to accomplish a more uniform oxygen system. From what I understand, which is not much, the benefits are that the body of water can maintain more fish, reduces potential fish kills, helps with freezing over the winter which I don't really need because the springs keep two sections from freezing, and overall increases the temperature of the body of water which I would like because like I said due to the spring it is generally a cooler pond for swimming.
What if I added a diffuser to the top spring as water comes in would it stay oxygenated or diffusers, that are working adequately, at the deepest parts be the best option?
