Sorry I couldn't respond sooner, had to earn my keep. If you haven't gotten a pump yet and still have a "bloom" problem, here is a suggestion. On 8 acres I would first turn on all of my diffusers. Then I wound get 2 - 4" jagger pumps and put one on each end of the pond. I would choke down the discharge to 1" and shoot it at the surface on a flat angle or shoot it against a splash board if I could. These pumps move 650 gpm, but you may have to run it slower with the backpressure caused by necking down the discharge. Please let me know how things are going?
