Danner Pondmaster ... Pond Pumps Selection List
Pond pumps - choose the right pond and waterfall pump here. Save money and disappointment
There are hundreds of makes and models of pond and waterfall pumps ... so many it is confusing and irritating trying to find the right one. In this section I have selected the pond and waterfall pump range from one of the USA's top manufacturers called Danner ... these pumps are perfect for simple circulation ponds and not so good for fountain pumps because they do not come with the right fittings. They are also good choices for waterfalls and filter pumps. The picture shows image of smaller models in range discussed. Note simple and sturdy construction
Selection made easy.
On the matter of cost do take note of the operating cost .... normally far more important than the original cost and if you ever compare pumps ALWAYS take this electricity cost into account.
The company is E G Danner ... 50 years in manufacturing. Their powerful low energy consumption pond and waterfall pumps are specially made to do the job reliably day in and day out and are GUARANTEED for 3 years. Also by shopping at the right place you get a much better price than the retail price normally offered.
In this table choose the pump that appears to suit your need ... as you go down this table the pump is gradually increasing in power and capacity (ie getting bigger to suit wider waterfalls and larger ponds). Each pump has a long 3-core cable suitable for indoor or outdoor use and can be submersed on run outside the pond thereby providing maximum flexibility.

Many retailers do not understand pond pumps well enough to give money saving advice consistent with correct pond pumps specifications. Selecting fountain pumps is easier than selecting waterfall or pond pumps.
The following selection criteria must be understood to select the optimum pond pumps for your koi pond, fish pond or water garden.
You must know how to:
Calculate correct pond pump head. This depends upon waterfall characteristics mainly. If no waterfall exists pond volume and contents of the garden pond determine specifications for most pond pumps.
Calculate correct pond pump flow rate. This is a function of the waterfall situation and other factors.
Then specify to a retailer exactly what you want bearing in mind purchase and running costs of pond pumps selected. If you want a garden water feature pump decide more specifically upon your water feature before deciding upon the garden water feature pumps to select from.
Recognize the pitfalls associated with certain types of so called pond pumps. Sump pumps and pool pumps are the main culprits here ... sump pumps generally stand upright with suction right at the base. Generally avoid these for ponds and waterfalls unless you know EXACTLY why you want to buy one.
