[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1318595, member: 24565"] Cost is major unless you can get into a cost share program with NRCS along with tax credits. If you have a well and/or cattle watering system on the farm it will be lots cheaper to run up to a mile of buried PVC (even across the top of the dam) than to do a solar system. Solar powered pumps are more sensitive to grit and trash than other pumps. You should created a well in the pond edge with well casing, pipe and gravel or something to filter out algae, pond weeds and sediment. Also pull in water from the top 5 feet as the 2nd and 3rd thermoclines will generally have off-tastes. [/QUOTE]
