yes you are right it might be a bit involved for the average laymen.

but once done electricity would be fairly cheap.

but I guess I maybe should have said you would be pumping to and from the pool and not into your buckets. your buckets would stay warm in the pool.

a 1/2 hp above ground pump would do it. with manifolds built on your suction and dish charge. of coarse you would have to build a cover on your pool in which you would insert your buckets. to keep out dirt and leaves and such. like I said a bit involved. the coy pond would be in ground and the ground would act as an insulator keeping the whole area warm.

nothing I have not done before. but not in this.

as always I have to admire your place and your plants and your knowledge in plants.
