Hi Everyone,
I just recently had a 1 acre pond in East Texas rebuilt. I have an extra well that I am using to fill the pond. I have not tested the water but my first issue is that it is irony. I plan to build a fake stream for the water to splash down mostly for aesthetics. I obviously don't want my stream bed to turn a lovely shade of rust. I spoke to some people at the fish farm I plan to use when I am ready to stock the pond. He recommended running the well water through a couple of barrels spilling over some type of media (I'm not sure what) in order to aerate the water and knock the rust out of solution to presumably settle at the bottom of the barrels. Conceptually, I understand this but I'm looking to see if anyone has experience with this and might have some drawings to go by.
Thanks.

I would build your stream out of red iron ore rock to match the iron that will be deposited from the water. I think you will end up spending a lot of money removing it before it enters your pond. |
