Hi Dan,
The pond still has a substantial amount of scum,
but your system is working fine. It seems to have a benefit in
that it clears an area where it bubbles and allows the fountain to function
without being choked off.
I am pleased with your system and will be happy to give you a
referral anytime you think it will help. Feel free to call on me at any
time.
[Notes &
Data: This 0.6-acre pond already had a 1/2 hp Turtle fountain that, on its
own was not capable of destratifying the pond and locking up the nutrients that
feed algae. It is a kidney shaped pond that needed two diffuser locations
for proper coverage. We modified a Vertex Air 1XL by using a Superior
Windmill manifold to feed two dual diffuser Vertex Co-Active air stations fed by
2 rolls of BottomLine Tubing. The system was installed in the pond August
17, 2005. This email was received only 2 weeks later on 8/31/05.]

Curt Wood's Pond, New London,
MO
[Notes
& Data: 0.8-acre, long and narrow pond located in a deep gully out of
the wind, totally infested with duckweed and algae . We installed an
AIR-1XL system and modified it by using two dual-diffuser Vertex Co-Active
AirStations, a Superior Windmill dual diffuser manifold and 300' of Bottomline
Tubing. The system was installed April 20, 2005 and caused the pond to
release a foul odor from the anaerobic bottom water. About six weeks
later, we visited the pond and found it to be in horrible condition, but without
odor. I talked with Curt and apologized for its condition. I
received this e-mail June 26, 2005. Later in the fall we made a warranty
call for a minor problem and found the pond looking very much better. Curt
plans to continue the Clean-Flo bacteria and enzymes treatment in 2006.]
UPDATE: November 2007: I received a call from Curt telling me how happy he was with the pond. He said it was beautiful and he is considering a fountain to add to that beauty. However, he had a problem with one of the dual AirStations that had a blow-out. I called Vertex and they immediately sent Curt a pair of diffuser inserts at no charge with no questions asked.
