How To Choose the right pumps | Articles List
Every pond with fish needs a pond pump to circulate water continuously through a biofilter 24 hours per day 365 days per year.
Good fish pond pumps are robust and reliable and the pump supplies or products I recommend always have good guarantee. Most garden pond keepers will benefit most and have less costs and problems by using a properly designed submersible pump. Large koi ponds on then other hand tend to have pumps situated outside the pond itself.
To specify any pond pump correctly you must know how to determine your pond pump head (head refers to pressure required to push the water through your unique pond system) and your pond pump flow flow (normally expressed in gph of water or gallons per minute or litres per minute or hour). You will need a more accurate specification if you have a waterfall installed than if you don't.
