question about aeration - 07/09/04 11:57 PM
would like some help from all of our experts on this subject. i have access to a thomas air compressor (model # 2619ce44, dual piston,1/3 hp,3.75 cfm@ 0psi, 3.65 cfm@ 5psi, 3.5 cfm@ 10psi abd 3.2 cfm@20 psi). my pond is just under 1 acre (.85 before the recent rains) and it is about 6 ft deep (average about 4 ft?)and is "L" shaped. i am looking to aerate to help water conditions. here is the question, will this compressor work and what diffuser would be recommended. i would put compressor out by the pond and run about 50-75ft of tubing. also would i have to run 2 diffusers or just one (which would be optimal). i have used the search on this site and am getting more confused the more i read. also, how long should i aerate at the start. ted lea, if you are out there could you please advise. thanks in advance for any input.
