Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Solar vs 1000 feet of airhose

Run the air line, it will be way cheaper and it works. I run 6 diffusers using two 1/2hp pumps, 1 1/2" rolled tubbing, to pond and then reduce to 1" pvc around the pond. Add a ball valve to control air to each diffuser along with weighted air line and your done. About 1,800' to my pond and then a couple more 100 to 200' to my diffusers. I have my pumps in a building far away from the house to reduce pump noise around the house. One more thing, based on your request being in Iowa, you may need to bury your line to keep the moisture in the line from freezing up in the winter months. Their are others here that might jump in for more or better information for you.
