Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Well pump for aeration?

Hi all,

I have a 5hp well pump that I use to keep the water levels up in my 2 acre pond over the summer. Years ago I pile rocks around it as to create a mini waterfall ( better that a PVC pipe sticking out)!

I am wondering if I could extend the PVC into the pond and create some type of areation? Maybe a fountain or drilling small holes in the PVC to force that cold well water to the bottom - or both, run PVC from the well pump to the center of the pond, have it extend from the surface and along the way drill small holes is the PVC?

That way there is no back pressure as what water didn't get forced out of the holes would contribute to a small fountain?

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Thanks!
