Hello every one. I have been contemplating adding a well to my system for some time now. I would like basically have a well dug and install a 1/2 hp pump on a timer.
I have spoken to two local fish farms around within a 7 mile radius of me and they tell me they run there whole farm with open system ( 24 hour well running ). And I have spoken to a well driller.
In two weeks I will be having a shallow well drilled.
I want to use a 1/2 to run enough to inject my current system with up to 40% of new well water.
I will attempt to run pump every 6 hours to keep some stability.
Water will be added into moving bed that has aeration to has off anything I could has off?
My concerns are:
Will this operation hurt the pump?
Can I test water at home for anything that will hurt the koi?
Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.
