Durso Question

The Hofer is the sort of the same idea as a Stockman or Durso in that they draw in along air with the water. What makes the Herbie silent is no air is mixed in.

Ok, so I pretty much got the idea of the Herbie down pat now. Thanks guys.

Now that Im a vicarious expert on Herbies I got another query; where exactly is water getting oxygenated if the Herbie doesnt mix air in the drain pipe with the water in a turbulent fashion?

I thought maybe this would occur in abundance in the skimmer with millions of micro bubbles, is this an accurate guess? Or do I need to worry about oxygenating my water somewhere in my system if Im running a Herbie?

Also, I think I'm 99% sure Im running a Herbie now, whereas last week I was 80% sure I was running a durso haha.
