If you're considering a windmill to aerate your pond you might want to reconsider. While a wind powered aeration system is an option for a pond that is "off grid" it does have some disadvantages:

• The wind doesn't always blow during the longest hottest days of July and August which is when aeration is most important.

• When the wind is blowing it the surface action naturally aerates the water so the aeration system is working when it is least needed.

• Maintenance is challenging, requiring the removal of the cumbersome, heavy head.

• Complex assemble, usually requiring multiple people.
