WATER AGITATION SYSTEM FOR WATER RETENTION STRUCTURE

1 . A water agitation system configured to be positioned within a water retention structure configured to receive and retain water, said system comprising:

a main body positionable within a water retention area of the water retention structure; and

an agitator operatively connected to a motor housed within said main body, said agitator connected to a distal end of a drive shaft that extends outwardly from said main body, said agitator comprising at least one agitation member outwardly extending from a lateral surface of said distal end of said drive shaft, said motor configured to rotate said agitator in order to impart motion to water retained within the water retention structure.

2 . The water agitation system of claim 1 , wherein said water retention structure is one of a basin of a bird bath, a livestock water trough, a swimming pool, a water tower or a pond.

3 . The water agitation system of claim 5 , further comprising a seal member within said main body.

4 . The water agitation system of claim 1 , further comprising a support member configured to support said main body above a bottom surface of the water retention structure.

5 . The water agitation system of claim 4 , wherein said support member comprises a plurality of legs that extend downwardly from said main body.

6 . The water agitation system of claim 1 , further comprising one or both of a timer and/or sensor for selectively activating and deactivating said motor.

7 . The water agitation system of claim 1 , wherein said at least one agitation member comprises at least one blade outwardly extending from said lateral surface of said drive shaft that is rotatably driven by said motor.

8 . The water agitation system of claim 1 , further comprising a flotation member configured to allow the water circulation system to float within the water retention structure.

9 . A water agitation system for use with a water retention structure comprising:

a motor operatively connected to a proximal end of a drive shaft;

a base supporting said motor; and

a blade assembly extending outwardly from said drive shaft, said motor operable to rotate said blade assembly in order to impart motion to water retained within the water retention structure.

10 . The water agitation system of claim 9 , further comprising a support member configured to support said water agitator above a bottom surface of the water retention structure.

11 . The water agitation system of claim 10 , wherein the support member comprises a plurality of legs that abut said bottom structure of the water retention area.

12 . The water agitation system of claim 9 , further comprising one or both of a timer and/or sensor for selectively activating and deactivating said motor.

13 . The water agitation system of claim 9 , further comprising at least one blade extending from a lateral surface of said drive shaft that is rotatably driven by said motor.

14 . A water agitation system configured to be positioned within a water retention structure configured to receive and retain water, said system comprising:

an agitator operatively connected to a motor housed within a main body, said agitator connected to a distal end of a drive shaft that extends outwardly from the main body, said agitator comprising at least one agitation member outwardly extending from a lateral surface of said distal end of said drive shaft, said motor configured to rotate said agitator in order to impart motion to water retained within the water retention structure, wherein said at least one agitation member is operable to impart motion to the water within the water retention structure.

15 . The water agitation system of claim 14 , wherein said water retention structure is one of a basin of a bird bath, a livestock water trough, a swimming pool, a water tower or a pond.

16 . The water agitation system of claim 14 , further comprising a support member configured to support the water agitation system above a bottom surface of the water retention structure.

17 . The water agitation system of claim 15 , wherein said support member comprises a plurality of legs that extend downwardly from the main body.

18 . The water agitation system of claim 14 , further comprising one or both of a timer and/or sensor for selectively activating and deactivating said motor.

19 . The water agitation system of claim 14 , wherein said at least one agitation member comprises at least one blade outwardly extending from said lateral surface of said drive shaft that is rotatably driven by said motor.

20 . The water agitation system of claim 14 , further comprising a flotation member configured to allow the water circulation system to float within the water retention structure.
