With the 5-6” of snow on the pond, you can see the wide ranging effects of the circulator. I outlined the “soft ice” areas on the photos.
Ice is 12-13” thick away from the areas affected by the circulator. Within 20’ of the affected areas it dwindles to 4-5” inches. That was as closed as any holes were drilled, figuring a dip in that cold water would be ill-advised!
