Looking for some advice on a good reliable pumps, trying to throw a diy setup together for my +-1 acre pond for a 2 diffuser setup, placement will be roughly 6-7ft of water. Water has no movement, except when it pours and it�s starting to reflect on surface and quality, and I want to get something going before I start seeing livestock problems. I seen a few videos on hiblows, which seem like they last a long time and you can buy replacement parts which is a plus. Don�t really want to spend a lot in electricity bills to run something. Thanks for any info

For best results with the least troubles, You want the compressor to be in some sort of shelter even if it is a dog house or any well ventilated with free flow air form of plastic or wooden box. Pumps need to be kept dry and cool as practical. Heat and moisture are their enemy. Gast makes various sizes of compressors including 12 volt units. See this PB forum link for some details about power comsumption for the most popular Gast compressor for aeration.
