Pretty cool mnfish!
What's the reason for the speed control?
Thank you sir! Speed control is for trying to maximize pump life.
To All... please feel free to challenge my limited thinking....Assuming the same shape, depth profile, water conditions and such, A guy aerating an 1/8 acre pond could run the pump at half the speed of a guy aerating 1/4 acre pond and have the same aeration but double his mechanical pump life (assuming linearity). In direct pumping, I am assuming the pump will run a certain amount of hours each day. If the pump runs on average for 7 hrs/ day but I only need 3.5 hrs for proper aeration, I cut the speed of the pump in half; keeping the same overall aeration( 7hrs of run time) with 1/2 the mechanical pumping cycles.
Any other thoughts, ideas? Seriously, If you got something I want to read it. You can't hurt my feelings. This learning is for everyone!!
