Thank you all again for your replies and suggestions.
I have been researching for hours and contacting a couple of electricians about what I am trying accomplish. I will be calling manufacturers this week to see what the GPMs of their pumps are rated at, I have seen them from 40 - 140 gpms, those are 1 hp pumps, I am going to go with a 2 hp pump, can’t find any gpms rated with this size pump, so I have to make some calls.
I am going to do my research and buy everything this winter and install it this spring. It looks like nobody has tried this setup yet, so I am going to be the test pilot. I will be sure and keep everybody posted with the results,I know it’s not going to be as good as bottom diffusion, but hell if I can get more oxygen down to 15-20 ft that’s just that more water the fish can utilize, and momma gets her fountain ( that part is non negotiable lol) Just an fyi, when buying a GFIC, they came at human rated, trips at 4-6 milli amp, and at equipment rated, trips at anywhere from 10 - 100 milliamps. Keep this in mind when installing one, I believe your muscles will lock up at around 10 milliamps ( meaning you can’t swim) and it will stop your heart at around 30 milliamps, is this correct Theo? I am also going to ask the manufacturers about extending the intake down 15ft and see what they have to say about that.
Any and all suggestions you all make is greatly appreciated, thank you again, Gregg
