so, you guys have never heard of anyone putting in a pump to circulate water in their pond before? i just don't have any idea if this is a normal thing to do or not.
This is Pond Boss, not Pond "middle manager". We welcome novel ideas and departures from normal!
Personally, I couldn't figure out how your "lazy river" effect was created. Do your water flow ejectors have directional nozzles?
There have been several good water circulation threads on the forum. I think from commercial scale down to people with tiny garden ponds with water falls.
I am NOT an expert, but I believe the consensus for overturning water is that diffuser aeration systems provide the most circulation for watt of electricity used. For water circulation in the same plane, then I suspect a water nozzle system with a centrifugal pump is probably the most efficient.
It will be interesting to observe the fish behaviors in your pond due to a preference for the lazy river area after you stock that pond!
