As some of you may remember, I purchased a Keeton Industries solar aeration system for my small pond. It sat in my garage for a few months before installing this spring.

Well, the last connection has been made and it's bubbling away. It's a fantastic sight to see my expense and patience paying off.

After dropping the diffuser to the bottom, I waited a couple minutes and swam out to the point where the bubbles reached the surface. I was amazed to feel the difference in water temperature. The water that was being pushed up was remarkabley cooler than the surrounding surface water. The mucky odor was present also. The coloration of the water seemed darker as well. I suppose that's due to the muck being pushed to the top.

The system itself is very quiet. It was also fairly easy to install. The timer is set to start at 6:20am and turn off at 10:30pm. This is a starting point and may be adjusted in the future.

I'm very excited about having the system up and running now. Just thought I'd share the news with some of you who were interested in the solar aeration system.
