I'd like it to be somewhat quiet.
I'd like it to be EXTREMELY reliable and low maintenance.

I can provide any type of electrical service necessary. The electrician is coming out next week.

Any suggestions? smile


Can you reduce the head and use air to move the water instead? Would save you a lot on energy costs and would aerate the water at the same time.

Pumping water through a raceway is very inefficient not to mention how much water is used.

If you're using the lake how about a floating raceway using a linear air pump you can barely hear?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
