I am getting ready to have a fountain installed in my pond. Pond is one and a quarter acre and 22 ft deep. I want areation and my wife wants a fountain. I have been looking at floating pumps and I was wondering if instead of having the pump pumping from the top of the pond, would it be possible to extend the pickup for the pump down around 10 ft down with pvc pipe so maybe I can circulate that water column and get better aireation for the pond, has anybody tried this?? I know a fountain does not airiate the water very well because it’s just drawing water from about a foot down, but the wife gets what she wants and she really wants a fountain with lights and I was thinking I could have the best of two worlds going this route, any ideas? Or am I just pissing in the wind here, thanks
