Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction Aerating a large pond

As far as vegetation is concerned, the water clarity is more of a determining factor than water depth, I've seen "weeds" growing in 12' of water when sunlight could get to the bottom.

Water depth plays a large role in compressor CFM requirements when looking at de-icing an area during the winter too. As does the bubble size.

This past winter we finished our testing and found that for shallow water de-icing the more CFM and bigger bubbles = bigger the open water area.
