Mitker Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hello, I've been searching for threads covering this topic but couldn't find any (my search tool is nonoperational, probably due to forum platform upgrade?); so, apologies if covered already I am looking to design the most efficient system to oxygenate the water of my aquaponic fish pond (Taptim, Nile and plaanai). I know a few systems: the floating device with rotating blades, basic air pumps, creating simple water falls, or forcing water at high speed onto the pond surface. My question is: what is the system offering the best ratio oxygenation vs power used? It means I don't really care if it's a powerful device running on an intermittent basis or a light device running permanently; just looking for the lowest electrical consumption while achieving satisfactory oxygenation levels. I currently run 2 pumps injecting a high speed flow into the surface. They run 24/7 and I can go for that but I have the feeling it's not very efficient in terms of energy spent (?). Also noisy at night... Thanks for any input based on your experience or knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
