New pond owner needs help- air
Let's add another little tidbit here. The importance of your filter getting
O2 (oxygen). If one is having water quality issues, sometimes air added to the filter makes the bacteria grow and therefore work better. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State |
New pond owner needs help

Since this thread is talking about airstones/pumps, I thought I'd add that one can make a cheap air stone with some of that leaky hose for drip irrigation. ~ jan On Sat, 24 Mar 2007 11:01:15 CST, Stephen Henning wrote: The drip hose floats and the pumped air squirts into the atmospherw not the pond. What do you use to keep the drip hose sunk? It's called hi-tech.... a rock. ;-) Actually I don't use them in my pond, though my son has used it at times in aquariums, he used the gravel to hold it down. We did use a loop in the D.pond one winter, we used a hi-tech heavy-0ld-sprinkler. ;-) I decided the bubbles were too fine, so the last 2 winters we've done open tubing which makes the bubbles boil the surface. More effective. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State |
