My main pond has constant current too.



It has a lot to do with the 500,000 volt powerline that goes directly over it.

Actually, we do have a lot of natural water currents too. Like High Flyer's, we have constant wind. Except when iced over, we never even have a thermocline. The water is always moving.


Catmandoo: Have you ever noticed any peculiar differences with your pond and the power lines? I don't mean for this question to get out of control in a controversial way. I have a place on my property that has lines going over, and it would be a perfect place to put a small pond. I have wondered if there would be any side effects from it. I don't want to go thru all the work of pond-building to find out there are issues with the lines.
