The one acre, 24’ deep, pond is located in the Northern California. The pump is a submersible that was mounted in a floating cage just below the surface. After repairing or replacing the pump and putting it back in, is there a way to prevent the build-up from occurring again?-1 I don't know what they are, I'd say barnacles but they aren't in fresh water. I'd scrape them off, wire wheel the outside, paint the outside of the pump with boat anti-fouling paint and put it back in the pond. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
