Gast mfg. vane pump. $200-300 depending on horsepower.Depending on size of pond you'll need a few aeration stones. Stones are about $15 each.We have 5 in a 3/4 acre pond that is 15' deep. If your pond is over 12 feet deep float the stones at about 10-12 feet. Any deeper puts stress on the pump. Always good to float the stones a foot or two off the bottom. Keeps them out of the mud. Pond is most efficient if 220 volt but can be rewired to 110 volt. No need to run in October - November if your pond "turns over" because of seasonal cooling. You should run during winter but would need signage if the pond would normally freeze because it will have open water.
The hose is special at about $1.00 a foot.

All this is available from pond specialists in your area or from the DNR in your state.
