not having a DO meter...do you know aproximatly the increase in oxygen levels after each of your pails? If I were pulling water from the deepest depths of the pond (16-18feet) and below the termocline...do you think it would make the water going back into the pond benificial to the trout and worth the expense of another pump and electricity?
I really only intend to run the well water or pump from the pond from the hours of 7pm to 7am week days and could run all weekend long if needed. (Ontario has Time Of Use hydro charges and electricity between the hours of 7pm and 7am is just over half the cost of power durring the day and is the same cheaper price on weekends and hollidays)
