Thanks for the input. I really do appreciate the quick replies that ya'll provide. I turned it on and will run it for 12 hours at night for now(unless ya'll tell me to run it 24/7). I am worried that the day time temps partnered with the shallow water will over heat the entire water column and do more harm than good. Am I wrong?
I have two hoses that feed off of my irrigation system that I run at the same time so I can maximize the output. They were near the water surface, but after reading the O2 concerns I pulled them up the bank and now it runs down the side of the pond bank for 12-15 feet. It isn't perfect, but it'll break some of it up. If oxygen is a concern, then I could always add two standard sprinkler heads per hose and it'll break it up much better. Doing so would reduce the output of the water added, but I'm not sure how much. I am leaning towards volume being more important right now.
I do think that I may have higher iron content in my well water since I have some stains on some parts of the concrete where the water pools up after I irrigate the yard.
