Pond aerators can cost you from $100o to several thousands of dollars. They are used to keep oxygen flowing in your pond and makes the water clearer and a nature color to it instead of being green algae covered or a dirty brown color.
The attached pics are before and after the aerator I made for under $100 dollars and installed.

How deep is your pond? Aeration will also eliminate the nasty bacteria and allow you to grow larger fish! I would expect you will see a difference by August. Are you taking O2 readings?
@TexChik 10 feet deep and no I am not all anally retentive taking oxygen readings and the like. I feed the fish once daily and provide cleaner aerator water and they grow every year without question.
@WillaKissing 😲. Don't be ugly to me. There is nothing anally retentive about recording good hard data about the improvement or lack thereof or the oxygen levels in your pond. If you were recording them, I would have been curious about what they were. We aerate one pond and the lake at the farm.
@TexChik I knew how to in expensively cure a hot non rainfall summer issue to increase the oxygen levels with a simple DIY project, and I have zero interests in becoming Bob Nye the Science Guy! LOL
Not being ugly at all, this was a problem and I fixed it and save the measuring for work on the home and deck building. Remember Army guy (If you want something tracked and taken out then that was my game) not scientist fellow over here.
