Great post Bob. That was a real learning experience for me. Thank you.

It's good to hear that they might be considering smaller units as well. It seems there are more people who have ponds that fall in that 1-3 acre size than the 15-20 acre size the Lake Life Pump was designed for. One would think they would sell far more units by offering a smaller sized unit in addition to the original.

It would seem the original would actually be the correct size for my pond (12 acres, 28' max depth at full pool, about 10' avg depth). I'm interested in hearing thoughts/opinions/experience on using the pump in a pond a little further north of Ray. My pond isn't a Southern pond. It's in NW Missouri. I will likely add some sort of circulation/aeration system to my pond pretty soon, and the article in the last PB issue really got me excited about the Lake Life Pump.
