Windmill for pond aeration 2008
This is a Beckermill windmill aeration system for our new pond. The tower, shiny red, is 20' tall, with a sqaure base 7' x 7'.
The blades on the fan, are over 7' in diameter, and painted bright blue with white accents and stars. This aerator will provide much
needed oxygen to the depths of the pond. This will feed the fish and good bacteria to assist the pond bio-system growth.
Did I mention it's Red, White, and Blue? Stars included!
Thanks to John E. for setting me up with the mill and assisting the tower build.
And Matt R. for the use of his barn, expertise, and mostly for assisting with the setup in the yard.
That air driver for the anchor posts was awesome. I'm sure it saved the paint on all four legs.
Let's not forget John, Mike, and Dad for thier efforts. Rain, beer, pizza, and lots of bolts, made for a good night putting the tower together.
Much appreciated guys!
