On the problem of having the pump under 7' of water
 

Our pump, 13+ years old, just died. It is in the bottom of the 'deep
well' and 7' under the now-cool-to-cold water. I have to go down to
pull it. I will replace it with an out of water pump.

Bummer.

Of course that was bound to happen when it was cold... not when the water
was 75F and up, right? ~ jan

Well, I did it. Got in the pond, undid the slip connection on the
pipe and pulled out the pump. I haven't the time to do the install of
the new pump, so the berm ponds are on their own for a bit. The main
pond has the toilet valve to regulate new water.

It was cold in there!
