Good to hear Ted.
After reading this post, I stopped home for lunch and started up my airpod in the shallow end of the pond. It busted a 3-4' hole in the ice after 50 minutes, in about 30 minutes or less I could see the boil!
I have a couple of questions yet....
1) Is a 4' opening in the ice enough?
2) Can I set the timer to run the pump for 30 minutes a day ( maybe around noon ? ) Or will that be too much running?
Just started the airpod...
Timer:
Hole in ice after about 50 minutes of run time.. Notice the dark spot in the middle of the pic... that is the open spot in the ice.. lots of water on top now as well.
