Question:
If have a large drainage area on property that is half the time a "pond"..can fill this up and recycle water ?
How costly would it be to buy a pump large enough to recycle water in a pond that is say 100 feet wide and 100 feet long and 6 feet deep?
Where does the pump sit and how costly as well to have a thing that shoots the water up a bit in the middle to recycle this water?
How difficult to maintain this?
Can I grow lilly pads and lotus planets with this water shooting up a bit too?
Answer:
You can buy 'floating' pumps to move water in a pond that large. The cost will be determined by how large the pump is and how long you run it every day.
Yes you can grow water lilies and lotuses assuming the pond is in the sun. Be sure to keep them both away from the pump so water does not fall on them.
The pump sits in a ring like an inner tube. You can buy them already in the ring and must anchor them in the pond.
Be sure to keep your plants in pots and repot them often or they will take over the pond and you will have a full time job just keeping them from taking over.

Thanks for the tips. Ive been in the market for a good pond pump for my blog for a while now. I recently ended up purchasing one online and it has done the trick. Thanks to links to the community. Very helpful!
