Hi Cecil, Thanks so much for all the info. You offer a wealth of info. I made a mistake regarding the compressor. We
NOW have a Rotary Vane 1/4 compressor. The one that was running this past winter was a piston pump - very loud. We kept it in the barn/garage my husband had built in 06. I don't think it did the job from what you wrote.
The creek doesn't flow into our pond. We have pvc pipe that carries the water into the pond. We have a filter on the intake and a filter box in the pond to catch sediment. The pond has shallow sides, and then goes deep, another shelf, and then drops off. I don't know how much sediment is on the bottom.
I did notice BG dying in late autumn, which was unusual. Maybe they were ill and spread some kind of "gilly plague" under the ice!!
Your pond and home are beautiful!! Probably awesome in the summer
