Thanks Rainman.

It has little if anything to do with cost, and more so effectiveness of pump over a given distance/drop/hose diameter, etc. I'll revisit where I was previously before implementing my solar aerator system, when I had both options of running a power line to the pond vs. solar designed on paper to compare. Now I'll add to that the option of running an air hose from near the house to the pond as well.

I'll likely have questions here about friction, distance, altitude drop, pump size, hose size, etc. soon to seriously consider that option instead or in addition to what I have now. We'll see. Thanks again for your response!
