Fountain

In the irrigation pond we have a bubbler and fountain type systems. The first is the bubbler system; it forces air up from the lake bottom through four air diffusers. This system adds oxygen to the water and moves moves water keeping the lake clean from algae and weeds. The second system is the fountain system. This is more of a visual system, it does not do a lot for the cleanliness of the water. 

The fountain system has stopped working. It has a short in the electric system somewhere. This most likely happened as a result of a power surge or a lightning strike. Wednesday we removed the fountain from the water and inspected the cords and connections.  We found nothing, it looks like the electric  motor is in need of repair. It will be sent in the be repaired, not sure how long this will take. 

The bubbler system is still functioning fine, the water should stay clean. We will just be missing the visual effect of the fountain in the middle. If you have any question please contact me. 


We will see you on the course!!!
