I'm sitting here thinking about the many methods to reduce/eliminate DO and I had an idea come to mind. I'm almost certain that someone else thought of this, tried it then determined the results were a big fat zero.

For any of you who work in construction, specifically concrete, there are times when the concrete has to be vibrated to remove air pockets for various reasons.

Is it possible to vibrate the water to remove the DO? Of course it is. Will it work? I don't know but I am going to try. Any engineers out there have an opinion?
Sonication is a common pro deaeration method.

Interesting, definitely more efficient than a concrete shaker (crew just used one of those to sink polymeric sand in between my pavers this week).

True! But I like gadgets. Might work, might not but seems easy and cheap enough to try.

I am seriously considering this! If it doesn't work, back to amazon it goes.
Do you have a DO meter?

Excellent point

Yes, for quite sometime and I seldom use.
Let us know how the experiment goes.
