Once the water temp is at 55 I only run the air at night. This cools the pond very nicely. In the day then the top 18-30"s is nice to swim in as long as you don't mix up the water from below with jumping in off the dock a bunch of times.

Right now the water is just getting to 50 so I am still running it in the day time to warm the pond and it is off at night. We had snow here yesterday.

The pond is an acre at full pool and I am thinking of adding 20 rainbow trout to the pond. I do understand they will need to be 18" or more to harvest the chub.

Cheers Don.
