These are the ‘engines’ that move the water. Your pond may have one or more depending on the size and complexity of your installation. They may be either external or submersible. Their pumping capacity should be correlated to the total number of gallons in the pond and the pumping height (the difference between the level of the pump and the highest point to which it is asked to deliver water – also called ‘head height’) and the specific function they are asked to perform.
The pump is one of the most important equipment purchases you will make for your Water Garden or Koi pond. At Garden Pond Supplies we have many pond pumps for you to choose from, just remember, the pump you choose is based on the size of your pond and the pumping capacity in gallons per hour (gph).The pond pump should circulate the entire volume of the pond at least every hour.
