If you have decided to add a pond to your garden, there are several things you will need to consider. One such thing is to ensure that you have the correct garden pond pump. The wrong pump can lead to stagnant water, more cleanup and higher maintenance than necessary. However, the correct pump will lead to lower maintenance and will really allow your pond to transform your garden into an outdoor oasis.
Unless you have the exact right balance of fish and plant life in a very small pond, a pump is highly recommended. A garden pond pump can filter the water in your pond, circulate it, and also provide much needed oxygen for any fish or plant life that you may have.
Looking for the right garden pond pump can be a little confusing. But the most important thing to ensure is that your pump is powerful enough. The water in your pond should be turned at least once every hour. So if you have a 1,000 gallon pond, you will need a pump with at least a 1,000 GPH (gallons per hour) rating. Having a pump that is too powerful is a much better alternative than having a pump that isn’t powerful enough, so it is important to err on the side of having more power.
Other factors to consider are if you want a submersible or external pump. As you can gather from the names, a submersible pump actually sits under water in the pond. An external pump sits outside of the pond. External pumps tend to be more powerful and are easier to access. However, submersible pumps are quieter, easier to install and potentially more cost efficient. Additionally, some submersible pumps come with fountain and spray attachments so they can double as a small fountain.
Having a good pump in your pond will help you to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of your garden pond!
