Lake & Pond Aeration Sizing Calculator
Use this planning tool to estimate diffuser coverage for a typical dirt-bottom pond or lake. Final diffuser placement and compressor selection should be confirmed for your depth profile, shape, airline runs, and fish load.
Measure surface area from aerial imagery
Optional: enter the pond address, trace the water’s edge, and send the estimated acreage directly into the sizing calculator. You may also enter acreage manually below.
Ohio addresses use higher-resolution public state imagery. Other continental U.S. addresses use public USDA NAIP aerial imagery.
Zoom or pan to the pond, then click around the water’s edge. Select Finish outline after at least three points.
