If say I double the pond size, I suspect the well will not be able to control the level. My current thinking is a small expansion but go for depth. Thoughts please!! confused

Thanks,

Pond is about a 1/4 to 1/3 acre at "normal" controlled pool.


If it's a ground water dug out pond and it is too low in times of a lower water table, I would go for more depth.

When you fill it with the pump how long does it take to lose the added water once you shut off the pump?
