Ok, I may be way off, but a question. I was thinking of a diy system. No electricity at the pond, maybe in the future. Would it work, or at least help my small (1/6 acre) pond if I created this system:
A submersible bilge pump, rigged to draw almost surface water (about 4" down)
Car battery to run pump.
Solar panel to charge battery
Timer to run pump from 2-6 am?
From having boats, I believe the battery will sustain 4 hours of a 1500-2000gph bilge pump. I would have it pump in the air to splash into the pond.
Pond is 10' at full pool, sloping sides.
Don't want to waste my time and money, but want to cool/aerate the top of the water column.
Thanks
