Dear Superior Windmills,
I just had to let you know my experience last spring while searching for a cure for my pond.
Our farm pond had been deteriorating for many years. Thick weeds, algae and periodic fish kill were the main problems. Also, several times during the summer, the water smelled of rotten eggs.
The first thing that I did was ask a lot of questions. Anybody and everybody that ( I thought ) knew anything about water problems got interrogated. What an experience! Ask the same question to a dozen ” experts ” sometime and watch what happens.
Below are just some of the answers.
- There is nothing you can do about it. All the ponds around here are like that.
- A bulldozer is the only cure that I know.
- Throw some grass carp and koi in there. They’ll clean up anything.
- Bulldoze it out and put a liner in the bottom. It’s the only way to keep it clean.
- Chemicals three or four times a year and you’ll never have another problem
The best was from an engineer who specialized in clearing up water problems.
- What you need here is an electric aerator. Total price should only be about six thousand… give or take.
With all these recommendations floating around in my head, I didn’t make any decision for a while. In truth, I had already tried koi, grass carp and chemicals, but obviously these were not working.
Then one day, while checking out a garage sale on a back road, I noticed a windmill out back of the barn at the sale. At first I thought that the windmill was just for decoration. When the owner saw that I was checking it out he said ” Best money that I’ve ever spent , would you like a closer look? ” Around the barn we went and in front of me was the clearest pond that I have ever seen. About an acre and a half in size, with the windmill at one end, what a great picture it would have made. My attention immediately shifted from the windmill to the pond and I asked how he kept the water so clear. He answered ” It’s that windmill, like I said, the best money I’ve ever spent.”
Over an hour later I was still there, hearing all the benefits of this man’s windmill. Seems he couldn’t praise Superior Windmills enough and I left there with a better understanding of aeration and the benefits of wind powered aerators vs. electric units. I couldn’t wait to get home and order a Superior Windmill for myself.
To make a long story a little shorter, I am now the proud owner of a 20ft Superior Plus Turbo Jet Stream and I couldn’t be more pleased . Now it is I who is bragging about my windmill and my clean, healthy pond, to any one that will listen.
Great product, friendly service, no additional power bill, low maintenance, and whole lot cheaper than six grand! Thank-you so much.
