Finally made my purchase on a windmill. Just wanted to share a couple photos. I'm pretty excited to have it standing. I haven't sank my hose yet but I will soon. I'll post pics when completed

Finally was able to get one diffuser in place. Very windy today so I'll try for the second diffuser tomm. So far I am pleased and happy to say that my pond is now aerated.

Very cool! Too windy to work I think is a good sign when installing wind powered aeration! smile

You are right about that. Couldn't have picked a better weekend to put it up. Didn't have to wait to see just how good it would work.

Assembly was fairly easy. Just don't get in a rush as it Was time consuming. Hardest part was figuring out how to get something 28' tall and top heavy to stand up.Lucky my neighbor had the mini excavator on stand by. How tall are you getting? We didn't need to go 28' but I figured it would add some character to the pond.

It looks great! I got 24'. I also got the "tilt up" mounts for the legs so hoping that makes standing it up and maintenance a little easier. Will find out soon enough I guess smile
