Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - aerating with YP in mind

Any thoughts on the idea of aerating one end of a pond (this pond was built in two parts-joined when second digging occurred), each end of the pond has
it's own bottom, that is each has a deep spot.

My thoughts are to aerate one end allowing the other end to have cooler water in it's deep part for YP. Mainly thinking of this because of the really HOT
weather we had this year, and if occurs next year will this help?

Radon thoughts! You know how dangerous they can be-thanks for any input!

One cheap, time consuming way to manually get water temps from deep water using a maple syrup thermometer is to sink a small glass maple syrup bottle with ring handle to the bottom or desired depth. Let it sit there for probably at least 30 min to 1 hr... Quickly Raise the bottle and measure water temp in the bottle.

If your electricity provider charges higher rates during the traditional peak usage periods (usually around 3PM - 9PM), then I would definitely recommend turning off all non-essential electrical equipment during that time. There are plenty of other pond improvements that can be accomplished with that money!

That same period should be peak oxygen for your pond naturally, anyway.
