Pond Owners

Looking for suggestions!!!
I've got a pond about half an acre. Some big catfish in it it has no natrual water feed but I have a well that I pump fresh water in. However, I screwed up and diverted runoff from the road this summer and an algae bloom cropped up.
So, what can I do about the algae and I want to install some kind of aeration system without breaking the bank. Call it redneck aerator if you will. Any idea's? especially for the aerator.

my well house for the pond is on one end and about 10 above water level.

Thanks

One salution, is to take an old standup jetski hull, then retrofit an electric motor in it using the origional jet pump. Ancher it to a stationary point and run it a few hours aday. The speed of the pump is not of great importance, as long as you don't pull to many amps.
