	Kasco Water Circulators for improved water quality.
		Water Circulators can be used in the Summer months to mix and agitate stagnant water to help reduce aquatic plant growth and inhibit mosquito reproduction.
		Still, stagnant water is ideal for the growth of unwanted surface and bottom vegetation such as algae.
		By eliminating the stagnant water, the water circulators may help limit the growth of the unwanted aquatic plants and keep your pond cleaner.

		Water in a catch basin rises to a certain level inside the basin, then drains into an outflow pipe, which is a storm sewer.
		Stagnant water is water that remains in an area for more than one week (7 days or more) and is not flowing or subject to wind or wave action.
		If the stagnant water cannot be removed, (as in catch basins, ditches, ponds, etc.) these areas are monitored for the presence of mosquito larvae.

		Larvicides are placed in stagnant water which is where mosquitoes prefer to lay their eggs for the larvae to hatch (e.g., catch basins or storm sewers).
		Stagnant water includes water in rain gutters, discarded tires, ornamental ponds, puddles, rain barrels, flood water pools and roadside ditches (if the property owner is responsible for the ditch and it has no flowing water).
		It the container or stagnant water body cannot be emptied or drained then larviciding may be an option.

		The infection, primary amebic meningoencephalitis or PAM, is caused by a common microorganism found in almost all untreated surface water and in soil.
		The combination of lower water levels, high water temperature and stagnant or slow moving water produces higher concentrations of the amebae in the water, said Neil Pascoe, of TDH's infectious disease epidemiology and surveillance division.
		The PAM infection occurs when water containing the organisms is forced into the nasal passages -- usually from diving or jumping into water or water skiing.

		It is the combination of lower water levels, high water temperature and stagnant or slow moving water that produces the problems, Perdue said.
		Infection occurs when water containing the organisms is forcefully inhaled -- usually from diving, jumping or underwater swimming -- and infects the brain.
		Perdue said that even more common dangers associated with lakes and rivers include injuries from diving into waters that hide rocks and debris or into waters that are too shallow, using alcohol or drugs and leaving children unattended.

		In reality, there are no magic bullets, but although draining stagnant pools or treating them with a pesticide remains the most effective means of controlling mosquito populations, there are biological controls that will help lower insect populations, said Dr. Billy Higginbotham, wildlife and fisheries specialist with Texas Cooperative Extension.
		"The stagnant water sources such as birdbaths left unattended, old tires and cans are probably more of a problem since they don't already contain fish — and it's doubtful that stocking fish into stagnant water will result in very good survival.
		The best bet remains to use biological control measures in conjunction with draining stagnant water sources, and using environmentally safe insecticides such as Bti when necessary.

		In the event you cut the stubouts and cap them, and then they hang down lower than the tee at the area that they connect to the supply line, then there is the possibility of water stagnation.
		Stagnation generally occurs in drainage rather than pressure piping, but the hot water getting too hot can allow air(steam) buildup in time, and you therefore want to have gravity fall back to the lowest pressure point of a quarter of an inch per foot.
		I was told that a T like this can trap stagnant water and may not be such a good idea.
