PBODE - Why do you think you need pond aeration? What do you think it will do for the pond? What is your main pond problem??. The shallower that ponds are,, the more plant life they want to grow. It is all about sunlight penetration and pond fertility. The shallower they are the more they move toward full plant growth in and on the entire pond bottom to push the pond into becoming a wetland. Wetlands can be very beneficial. When you are back at the pond try to get close-up clear pictures of the plants. Get a picture of the lily flower and leaf shape. Often for good pictures one needs to harvest the plant, place it in a shallow water pan so the leaves lay in a natural shape. Be careful at buying aeration - do lots of DEPENDABLE non-biased homework. Many aeration people will tell you stuff to sell product and get profit. Very rarely will they guarantee what they tell you will actually work in your situation. IMO this especially applies to a 4-5ft deep large 1 ac pond that is technically IMO a glorified wetland and should be treated and managed as such.
On last question how clear is the water? How deep can you see an all white coffee cup in the water?
