I think the easiest thing to improve would be to start some aeration of the well water.
Do you just have a pipe that runs into the pond under the surface?
If so, can you bring the outlet to the surface and let the water run over a series of waterfalls with gravel, down a cascade of buckets with lots of holes, etc.? Anything that turns the 2" stream of water into a mist or lots of dribbles in the air will help.
Further, your well water around Wichita may have a moderately high iron content. Does it stain your sidewalk or fence an orange/brown color if you use the well water for lawn irrigation? If you run your well water over a large surface area, you will drop out some of the iron (and other mineral content) before sending 100% of it into the pond.
