Aeration System Sizing Estimation Chart 

The table below will help match the size of your pond with the correct aeration system. We sell complete aeration systems from Vertex but also provide individual components so you can build your own custom system. If you are unsure of the number of acres of your pond use the pond size calculator to estimate the acreage.

Use these figures as a guide only.
Factors such as the local topography and the pond's bathymetric survey will lead to variations.

For lakes or unusual circumstances we can help you evaluate the correct combinations of diffusers and compressors.
