Well water has low nutrients and usually higher minerals. These ponds are slow to develop algae and weed problems due to lack of fertility. Feeding pellets soon increases fertility to where plants are growing too well. Precipitation in your area will likely get the pond 1/2 full by June. It did that last year in my small rebuilt pond. The first 4-5 ft of water is relatively a low volume compared to the top 4 ft. It is a funnel shape you know.
