Pond Pumps

Have you decided to add a new dimension to your cherished garden? Then it's time to consider purchasing a pond pump. These, along with filtration, form the most crucial part of pond technology. Besides connecting the pump to a filtration system, they can be used to create various effects such as fountains, waterfalls, streams, etc. They also oxygenate the water, thus helping the living organisms in your pond, whether they are fish or aquatic plants. Ensuring water movement in the pond helps prevent mosquito breeding – larvae will not have the opportunity to hatch as they would in "stagnant water." Their purchase should consider the main purpose of use – fountain pumps that add freshness and the sound of flowing water to your garden, or filtration pumps that ensure the water in your pond is always crystal clear.

Investing in pond pumps will save you a lot of work with cleaning the water or annual draining of the pond. Pond pumps are either tubular – they draw water from the bottom of the pond where the most debris settles, or gravitational, which "levitate" in the water and filter impurities below the surface. For the proper functionality of a filtration pump, it is advisable for its performance to circulate at least one quarter of the total volume of the pond per hour. Generally, it is better to slightly oversize the pump to have a performance reserve. Ideally, the hose should be as short as possible to reduce hydrostatic space. Its diameter also plays an important role.
