I've thought about that too. If I knew I would be able to get it out, I'd back my surface drive into the pond and crank it up. It's got quite a bit of torque if I give her the juice. The side of the pond I would have to back into drops off pretty steep so the angle would be pushing water to the bottom of the pond. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I would think if I didn't run it long, it might help destratify some as well.

I've thought about the trolling motor too. I need to replace the one I lost in the flood. Either would work, for sure to move some water around. I may even supplement the venturi with a TM between injections.

My thinking is this...
If I use the venturi to maintain water level, I incidentally improve my DO, water temp and possibly ph. Then the TM between uses to keep the water moving around.

Do you think that would work...short term anyway?
