Abstract:
1. An apparatus for providing flow and aeration of a body of water comprising: a rotationally driven pump positioned above the surface of said body of water that drives a generally vertically oriented pump turbine that is submerged within said body of water; a pump manifold that surrounds said pump turbine and provides upward propulsion of a stream of fluid from said body of water from a pump intake located below said pump turbine to an outlet manifold located above said pump turbine when said pump turbine is rotated about an axis; an air manifold attached proximate to said pump intake of said rotationally driven pump comprising: a discharge pipe that directs the output of said rotationally driven pump at an angle below the surface of said body of water to provide mixing of said body of water.
