Pond pumps come in all shapes and sizes, but what is type and size of pond pump that you will need? Really this depends on the work the pond pump will be doing, what you want to achieve from your pump i.e. if you want a fountain, a water fall or neither and how much flow you would like. It is important to calculate the correct pond capacity to enable the right level of filtration to be chosen for your pond and to give a guide on a minimum flow rate your pump will need to deliver to a filter. Do you require a fountain? If the answer is “yes” you will require a Fountain Pump. Fountain Pumps. All fountain pumps will have several attachments and can be used to also run filters, waterfalls and pond side ornaments, if you require a filter use please be guided by the filter pump details on what flow is required and bear in mind this pump will not handle all the debris compared to a filter pump and a pond vac may be required to remove sludge build up over a period of time. Fountain pumps are ideal for adding extra aeration to a pond especially when we have hot weather, the more surface movement the better, you may wish to consider a small fountain pump or solar pump to increase aeration. For small ponds solely to run a fountain a 700 - 1000 litre per hour pump is recommended please refer to the product packaging or details to see what fountain height the pump will deliver, please note most fountain pumps can be controlled so you can always turn them down. For a medium to large pond to run a fountain and small waterfall a 1500 litre per hour pump is required as a minimum, please refer to the product packaging or product details to see what head the pump can handle the head is the maximum the pump will lift up too before not pumping. Please note the greater the lift to a filter or waterfall the slower the flow rate and a bigger pump will be required. As a guide to maintain a good flow rate for every 0.5m lift, 500 litres of water would be required (1m lift a 1500 litre pump) you are always better to go bigger though. The head of a pump is measured from water level. For larger ponds to run a fountain and a large waterfall a 4000 litre per hour pump is required as a minimum, if you are using a filter as previously indicated a filter pump is best suited.
