Garden pond pumps are an essential element for a clean and beautiful pond. Not only do they help filter the water, but they are also used for features such as waterfalls and spitters. Without a proper pump, the water in your pond can become stagnant much quicker. The right pump for your pond will greatly reduce maintenance and help you remember why you installed the pond in the first place – to enjoy a scenic, relaxing addition to your garden.
Garden pond pumps are categorized in many ways: submersible or external, standard voltage or low voltage, and also by how much water can be pumped. While most choices boil down to your personal preference, it is very important to make sure that your pump can pump enough water for your pond. As a broad standard, you want the water to be turned at least once an hour. So if you have a 100 gallon pond, you will need a 100 gallon per hour pump. However, this is an overly simple formula and many factors, such as a fountain or waterfall, can contribute to needing a more powerful pump. It is much better to have a pump that is a little too powerful than the other way around. In many cases, it is even recommended to have more than one pump in your pond.
Some garden pond pumps can combine multiple pump features, which enable them to perform the task of more than one pump. For instance, some pumps have advanced design filter housing, which can eliminate the need for a filter sponge. Some pumps may have wrap around filter housing, which can dramatically reduce the need to clean your pump.
Having a pond in your garden can create a wonderful sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. The correct garden pond pump for your pond will help minimize the maintenance and add even more to your enjoyment.
