Interesting! What kind of aeration/water exchange/GPM are you finding effective for a half acre pond?
I would love to click your links. :)
- _heimdall 2y agoI used a submersible pump rated for 6,900 GPH[1], no clue how accurste that rating is but it moves plenty of water. I haven't had it long enough to say for sure that it's enough water flow for this size pond. Time will tell, but so far it does seem to have helped with duckweed we had a hot and dry couple of weeks. I don't have a any links to the project or anything unfortunately. We don't use social media and haven't made the time to setup a website for our hobby farm.

- quesera 2y agoUnderstood, and I appreciate. I've been ruminating on solutions to a very similar-sounding problem for a few summers, so your practical experience is helpful, thank you!
- Gys 2y ago320W it says. So I wonder what kind of solar panel are you using?
- _heimdall 2y agoI started with Renogy's 400W kit, 1,000W inverter, and a deep cycle marine battery. That's actually the main reason I only run it for a few hours a day right now, I knew I was pushing the wattage limits of the panels. I'll probably end up adding a couple more 100W panels, August will really let me know whether this can do enough work to keep the pond cooler and more oxygenated.
