This is what I'm thinking about! I just can't believe no one has had a pond with no power anywhere near and hasn't already put together a DC system.

I'm pretty sure I can get some surplus panels and maybe batteries, I just don't know if there's a DC compressor or should I go to an inverter from the batteries and back to AC.

Surely someone has already fought this battle.
