It does not take many ducks to foul even a 1 acre pond. I donl;t thnk
your gonna do much in the line of filter and pump in such as small
quanity of water in regards to keeping it half way decent. BTW a duck
does not need water. They like water but do not have to have access to
it for swiming and playing........all they really need is drinking
water, so IMHO I would not wory about the pond , and keep em out of it
and supply water for drinking not swimming in. Been there done that
with raising ducks, and today was officially my last day dabbling in
poultry. Last truck load of my old feathered friends left earlier this
morning......All I have is my favorite peafowl left............
