not much different in idea from aerating a lawn. it allows a better flow of oxygen to the root system.

algae control also. breaks the thermal layers and brings cool water to the surface. good for summer, but geese flock to the open pond in the winter.

And I have to add that the pond is treated with chemicals to keep it weed and algae free so aeration is a must for the fish and for the health of the pond itself.
The pond is drawn down and cleaned out about every 5 years so the bottom isn't filled with silt. It's work, but it's a hell of lot cheaper than having a pool

BTW-- Rod you need to come back and enjoy the "relaxation station" in the pond and the use of the jacuzzi after a relaxing soak and a few top self drinks.

AHHHHH it's been used many times for a little skinny dippin I have speakers mounted around it and a few well placed lights to set a mood. The mood is determined on who your skinny dippin with.

Nothing wrong with having a little goose for that big Christmas meal.
