Thanks, guys.
I'm now turning my attention to using a second pump (unused sitting in my shed) to move water from the bottom of my pond uphill 200 lateral feet to create a de facto bog filter. The area the water will filter through is the historic drainage, filled with ferns, swamp maple, yellow birch, berry bushes, etc. It is a wide, shallow drainage that may work perfect. The area kind of seeps/drains together as a little flow that I put a flat 12x5' stone 'bridge' over - you see it to the right in the pic below if you squint hard. (The pic shows the last of the ice coming off the pond a week ago.) Do you think this will help remove the dissolved solids and other crud? And maybe help me raise fish like Cecil does?
But the details will fill a separate post... I got the bog filter idea from the guys talking about raising trout indoors.
Later, and thanks for your assurance and welcome to PB forums.
