I would like to excavate the pond to have a twisting river area. I don’t like the idea of having an aerator every hundred feet, but also don’t like the idea of stagnant water. So this is why I am thinking about using an air lift pump to move a high volume/low head amount of water “around the loop”. I also like the idea of having the “bubbles”appear in only one spot that I can hide to maintain a natural look, while still having the aerated water reach all parts of the pond.

What do you think?
