Thanks for the review. Yes more pond videos. I have two Hiblow pumps for my shallow(max depth 7 ft) 5 acre pond . I have 1-HP80 and 1-HP 120 LL, pushing 6 diffusers. I didn't run power to the pond. I run the pumps near my home and push the air through 1/2" and 5/8' tubing for the distance to the pond. I think the furthest diffuser is apprx. 400 ft from the pumps location.
@@YoungbloodFamilyFarm It handles it fine. 2 are hooked up to the hp 80 and 4 to the 120ll. The depths are so that it can handle them just fine. Much deeper though and I'd need a rocking piston pump, but my pond despite having a large surface area probably only maintains an average depth of 4 ft. So I need a lot of diffusers spread out, since I don't have the depth for the bubble curtain to do as much as it otherwise would do in say 14' of water.
Looking great. What bacteria are you adding? Do you have links you could share. I see the beach in the background. Are you going to do a video on that project?
The bacteria is by Pondworx. I’ll add a link next time I’m in front of a computer. Yes, there is now 20 feet of beach, I’ll talk about this in a soon video
The pump is not magic, however after 2 full summers with it running there is less muck. It hard to measure, late last summer I was able to see sand and clay in my shoreline mixed in with the muck. I’m expecting to see more sand/clay and less muck. I have also added dye and bacteria, I feel this is helping also
Pretty pond! Great job! The kids swimming in all that duckweed in the earlier videos is a riot! Thats the kind of kid i was...fearless!
Thanks 👍
HI-BLOW KICKS A###. 😊I have two running now. For two years.
My pump is sneaking up on 4 years of operation, love this little guy
We wanna see you in your speedo diving into the pond!
No one wants to see this!
Looks great. Total transformation from even a year ago!
Thank You, I keep thinking, “don’t mess up”. Still feel like I’m guessing a little, but making progress

Sounds like a nice setup, does the aerator “work”. Any harder with a second diffuser or additional ones?

Question: How the pump do with muck on the bottom of pond? I'm planning on purchasing one for my pond. TY

Hi! Can you tell me where you found the cover for the aerator? I’ve been looking around for exactly that and haven’t found much success
