This is about 14000 gallons per hour going over her. I don't really know the power cost per year really. I could figure it out. There is two 1/3 HP 110v semi trash pumps and one 1/2 hp brushless. You can see the 2" pipe running up the back where the two pumps from the creek pump into the pond at 9000 gph.

I never really noticed the extra cost of the aerator or the water pumps down there. Nothing like the dehumidifier in the old house. Man I seen $40 per month with that in a big hurry.

Cheers Don.

EDIT: see those big rocks on the bottom? Then the first row of flat 8" stones? The top of the flat 8" stones is our full pool level. There is river rock that runs 12 feet in to the bottom of the pond for the shiners to spawn in with the FA that grows there.
