Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Geothermal pond loop and aeration?

IMO My pump and dump actually should lower the pond temp when in the summer "air conditioning" mode. The geo does not raise the temp of the 55 F well water more than a few degrees as it passes thru at 6 to 8 gpm. If the summer pond water temp is say 75 F, I am actually adding colder water (maybe 60 to 65 F). In the winter I would be warming the pond if you assume 40 F pond temp and the geo cooling the well water to say 50F. Overall, I would say my pump and dump geo has little impact on my pond water temp in either the winter or the summer.

Now for a pond loop system, IMO you are correct. The geo will raise the pond temp in the summer and lower the pond temp in the winter.
