As I see other ponds in the area, I've noticed that those that are open to wind activity are less prone to having a surface algae issue. One of the problems this pond has is it doesnt get enough surface agitation from wind. I'm wondering if hanging a submersible pump from my dock and having it spray out over the surface will improve the situation.

My thoughts are to set it up to run during the day and allow my aeration to run at night. My concern is how deep that agitation will push warm water if I'm using the top couple of feet to spray over the surface? Anyone have any experience with this sort of setup?
