Neat place. I'd forgotten what a full pond looked like.
It has its own well. I'm able to control water levels. My water well is a beast. It will dump about 120-130 gallons per minute according to the math and a 5 gallon bucket fill. The water table is high where I am.
We timed it and it takes 2.5 seconds or so to fill a 5 gallon bucket. I mean it fills a 5 gallon bucket in a flash.
I have a good high water table.
Ponds look more pretty when they're high and full, I think.
But then , the pond is in the heart of hurricane country so you have to be careful how high you keep it this time of year.
Even though I have a discharge that runs out to the drainage ditches, well.......if the ditches fill up , it does no good.
I also have aeration, I'm using a 1/2 horsepower, oiless, dual piston pump and three dual platform diffusers.
When hurricane season is over, I can keep it as high as I want, without worry.
Thanks for all your replies.
