Select The Right Pond Pump Or Pond Waterfall Pump

The aim of this page is to help any pond keeper looking for a pond pump or pond waterfall pump to make the right choice. When you choosing a pond pump for your fish pond or water garden you need to be specific. Making the right choice can become a little bit more complicated if you have a waterfall incorporated into your pond design.

You need to know 2 important criteria if you incorporate a waterfall as part of your fish pond and are looking for a waterfall pump

• The distance between the surface of your fish pond and the inlet of the waterfall i.e. the vertical height above the pond surface in feet.
• The actual width of the lip of the waterfall i.e. where water flows over. If your waterfall is a cascading waterfall with a series of waterfalls falling onto each other then you will need to measure the width of each and add them together in inches (1 inch = 2.54cm).

Important Points When Selecting The Right Garden Pond Pump

• The running cost is far more important to consider than the purchase cost.
• Calculate correct pond pump head.
• Calculate correct pond pump flow rate.
• If you are looking for a backyard water feature pump decide more specifically upon your water feature before deciding upon the garden water feature pumps to select from.
• Learn to be aware of some of the dubious retailers out there who will try to sell you the wrong equipment simply to make a few $$$. Under no circumstances should you use a sump pump as a waterfall pump.
