Always have a backup pump, same for pond etc

Make a phone call to your local pump rental facility and get a pump or 2 coming! At $2500 per hour being down one hour will pay for 2 pump rentals for a week. And I'm sure there is somewhere within 5-6 hours that would have a pump ready to go just waiting for that phone call, and that pond won't fill up that far in 5-6 hours. But the carnage was pretty cool!

That's the engine to hook up to the pump that failed not the pump it's self.

Don't make any sense running a operation that big and not invest in spare gear. Pretty stupid move not having a back up water pump. Should always have plan B ready when plan A fails.
