Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi bob
if I remember the post or article I read its the amount of increased surface area of water particals that are able to absorb oxygen , perhaps it would be quite minimal, need to do some tests maybe !!

Hi all Have not posted for a long time , had a few personal problems ,but I have been reading some of your posts. any way with the heat wave we have been having I've added this little devise to my pond as I know I read somewhere that mist is a good way to increase oxygen intake to water.

Hi Martin

There is a guy in Waterloville think he's an ex=royal navy diver with all the gear does this sort of thing for members of the south hants koi club .

That's right Vipp's its called the Aquaturn about £15 in most koi mags .
I would have considered these but their in or outlet is in a different place to the original if I remember correctly .

I be interested if any one knows what the larger 25 /60 shifts or if it only pumps to a greater head.
