Thanks for the tips! The barn is actually substantially lower than the pond, so I will need the condensate to drain back toward the barn. I will need to figure out how to do this - maybe a pit? I have several compressors for operating air tools. I wonder if they might work for occasional use? Thank you for the warning concerning placement near shore. I would not have thought of that. I was also considering using bricks to sink the hose, but will now will invest in sinking hose for the short section that will be submerged. I greatly value experience! BTW - I should have said "most economical system long-term".
