Of course there are fueled power generators for the pump/filtration systems is there anything else on the market or any other concepts/ideas that will sustain koi for long outage periods. What would be the minimum fail-safe for any koi pond?

I’m even trying to include an electric-solenoid valve that would release water to multiple jet streams to agitate the pond surface in the event power shuts down. A waste of great Hawaii water, but I’m hoping this concept (non-powered) will help a little. Any words of great wisdom will be much appreciated. Aloha.

Hawaii ? Windmill powered air/water pump.

The thing that confuses me about Niigata is that these guys are pro's and have fish worth a fortune.
Even at my little facility I have a 27K Diesel and 235 gallons of fuel.
Not having it would be the equivalent of not having homeowners insurance.
