I lost 100 TapTim to a single PlaChon fish.Originally Posted by CharleyFarley
I have seen in the southern states of the USA in catfish ponds, a raft like affair with a double shaft motor and a set of paddle wheels on the shaft and as the motor spins it throws water in the air and churns up a lot of water and does a good job of aeration.

They use those aerators a lot in thailand for shrimp farming.
( Don't mention the USA one's again because the Thais think they invented it)
Sorry, my bad....Originally Posted by Thetyim
But they use them also at the settling ponds where they have to treat water at the papermills in the North west before they can dump it back into the rivers.
I forgot about them, as I have seen them a lot up there.
^ Why would that be so, it is cheap and does the job fairly well and not to much bother.
And seems that they already know how to make em.
Some thai aerators here.
Model RX7 only uses a single hp motor

Yeah but BG they fling a lot of water.. Not a very beneficial result in small areas where you have to replenish water, they also induce more evaporation too, so from those points in small applications it is better to have a smaller aerator for injection with out so much agitation. I don't mind telling you that here in Thailand I would be highly dubious of the safety factor having one of those 220V motors suspended over the water like that with the electric having to be run through it as well..
My frigging microwave shocks the piss out of me if I ever touch it without slippers on or stand on a mat so I certainly wouldn't want to have any contact with something like this anywhere near water..
But hey I already suggested it before so I'm not entirely shooting it down either, I just don't think it is a good application in these smaller cases..
Silent but deadly.....
sounds like you need 3 wire service in your shack and grounded plug ins,, I did that when we built this place, now no shoes and touch anything,, but we also wear shoes mostly or at least slippers inside.
But replacing a little water wouldn't hurt anything either, but we have no water well and can't get one so it better rain, and I am going to add more storage this year,
Have you tried turning the plug the other way around ?Originally Posted by Driventowin
Sometimes it stops that. Sorry off topic, carry on fellows
Yeah I know the polarity gets switched here all too often and the problem with turning the plug around is it doesn't work if anything else is plugged into it, because you get feed back through the other appliance, something is always backwards if you know what I mean? I don't own this place and it is common everywhere here in Thailand to have this problem.. This place is better than most they do have some grounded outlets but not every one..
Yes, 50 times per second. Or in other terms 50 Hz.Originally Posted by Driventowin
Are they actually grounded with a thitrd wire or are they just 3 hole plugins so you can not have to cut off the ground lug from the plugs, I have seen that and we have also bought a short cord 3 hole plug strip to take with us when we travel so the wife can plug her laptop in when we are at hotels,, but the cord in it is only 2 prong and no 3rd wire in the strip.Originally Posted by Driventowin
No chance of them walking away More likely some Plar-Chon (snake-head) left in the pond, did you see any dead fish ??Originally Posted by CharleyFarley
They are very effective predators..Originally Posted by Thetyim
They are used here in Thailand as well, mostly for shrimp farms through.Originally Posted by blackgang
I have never been there, but each district in Thailand normally has a department of inland fisheries.Originally Posted by crabfat
For shrimp it will work, but not really for Plar Nin, unless you start changing water and fight the problems with increasing ammonia and nitrite as a higher stocking density will create.Originally Posted by blackgang
Any thing's possible BG, I know everything safety wise here is shite.. With a ground they couldn't reverse the polarity the way they do it would have to be wired properly or it would blow breakers..
I haven't gone through the house, as I said it's not mine, so no way I'm going to waste my time..I know there is some grounding though because my water heater is grounded and I have seen grounding in the attic where all of the wires are exposed with typical Thai wiring..I noticed the same thing myself about the extension cords here.. Anyway, we're distracting from Dalts thread..
So back on topic Dalton have you considered installing a few Spa jets on you tank return lines to aerate the water??

Pla-chon...yep they're the bastard cluuprits.
We found several of them floundering outside the pond after heavy rains. Bigger than my forearms..2 Kgs +
They can jump/flip like buggery.
