In my 2 acre pond with deepest part 11 foot and rest averages 4-5 foot, I put all 3 diffusers near each other in the deepest part of the pond. Weighted line is no place to cut corners!! The only way to go in my opinion. I have never turned the pump off except to clean diffusers once a year or so. In deep east Texas where I am I saw no need to eariate the shallow end of my pond. The diffusers in my deep water probably turns my complete pond water at least 2 times a day. Also I used the diffusers where you could add gravel to weight them down . Never had a problem. I think it has been running nonstop for 3-4 years now!! I understand ponds up north freezing and diffusers in shallow ends may have their place for reasons I don't have to deal with here in the south! Good luck and welcome to Pond Boss!! What are the specs on your pump? Also what kind of diffusers do you have? I assume the round diaphrams, but what sizes/single or double? Is your pond narrow as well.? The deep part of mine is probably less than 1/4 of it on one end of the pond.
