Dwight- Do you find that there is a lot of "flow thru" with the water? I suppose you would know this by it taking more chemicals, or whatever, to treat the water than it normally should?
I don't put any chemicals in the water.
I do know that the water moves by the fact that in the winter there is a narrow area of open water on the north and west sides of the pond even when the ice is 2 feet thick everywhere else. The open area is very narrow (0-2 inches) It is caused by the warmer ground water melting the ice edge. The water is flowing to the ESE.
I also believe that the clear water moving through the pond has an effect on water clarity (making it more clear).
