Title of this thread says 1/2 acre.......

If I did the math right....Assuming 7 foot average depth, the pond holds about 1,141,000 gallons. So to turn the pond 2 times running a diffuser 24/7, the diffuser needs to move about 1600 gallons/min. Based on that and the chart posted by Esshup, 1 XL1 Vertex diffuser placed at 14 feet should easily do the job.

Depending on the shape of the pond, you might want to go with two diffuser stations placed to maximize access to all areas of the pond. You could then cut down run time on the compressor and save a few bucks on electricity.
