Sure, the cooler water would absolutely be on the bottom if you cut off the aeration off. It will even be cooler with the aeration on. That's because the bottom is the bottom and it gets less sunlight than the top. Unless you've got diffussers all over the pond bottom, the bottom will always be cooler.

Not sure I'm understanding what you want out of this question. You purchased the aeration system to have better water, so why would you want to turn it off?
