Pump for a 3/4 acre mucky pond - 03/15/21 12:44 AM
I have a 3/4 acre pond that has been neglected for 20 years. Currently in the shallow location (indicated in yellow), there is a large amount of muck. On the right side of the photo, I am dealing with branches and undecayed leaves.
Since the satellite photo was taken, I have removed ~ 75% of the trees surrounding the pond.
My question is, what pump and bubblers should I purchase? I have been looking at Hiblow 120LL and a couple Gast units. Taking into account the price of a quality unit, I prefer something rebuildable.
The air line will be ran from a pole barn approximately 30 to 40 feet away.
3/4 acre pond
Yellow=1 foot deep
Orange = 3 feet deep
Red = 9 feet deep
Pink = direction of air line coming from pole barn
Blue = locations I felt would be ideal for both of the bubblers.
I'm completely open to suggestions on pumps, # of bubblers, even chemical additives - though I see this is not the correct forum for chemicals.
Thanks in advance.
