Well I finally got it done. First I ran 850 foot of 16 or 18 gauge extension cords down to a ice cold spring. I hooked it up to a 3000gph pump. It pumped fine for about a month, so I went ahead and purchased 850' of underground 12/2 wire with ground as a permanent solution. (My neighbors were all glad to get their extension cords back). I think I could easily run another pump off of this setup if needed. Now I am pumping fresh cold spring water into the existing pond. Just one more thing to keep the water cooler.
