pond aerater [RE-wrenches]

Hi Darryl,

We get a lot of pond aeration requests here in rural NY state. Some for 
reducing algae growth and some for aquaculture use. We've developed and 
tested several systems for using solar to pump air and water for 
aeration and have found that, with either method, the hard part is 
distribution. How does one get the aeration distributed evenly 
throughout the pond and do it in such a way that algae and/ or debris 
don't plug up the aeration line, ring, etc. that you're using. And keep 
it affordable?

Windy....PLEASE weigh in here with your insight! Yes, I know of the VERY 
expensive ($500+) Viton rings and others like it, but how about one of 
those wonderfully simple and innovative solutions that the RE industry 
is so good at producing?? Come on Windy, you can do it!
