Fortunately, I live in Pacific Northwest like you, where we get plenty
of rain in the fall, winter, and spring, and the pond has a nice
overflow, so I think we've been getting some water exchange that way.

Chuckle You must live on the wet side of the state? I've yet to see a
rain heavy enough to give me overflow here on the East side. ;-) ~ jan

Ah. Yes, I'm on the wet side.
