my pond is a little over 1/2 acre and we dont seem to be getting any rain. Other than cost would it be bad to put water from the hose in the pond to keep level? My pond is a bout half full and we get rain and it goes up about a foot and then no rain for another 3 or 4 weeks and the water level goes down. I cant get enough rain to get past the half full mark. I have a few coppenose and some fhm in there now and Im thinking about the hose pipe to get it up a couple of more feet but not sure whats in city water.
