The pump is the heart of the pond.
An efficient and effective pump is just as important as a filter. The pond pump is there to ensure that contaminated water ends up in the filter.
You should consider the following when choosing the correct pond pump:
- The pump capacity should be 50% of the pond volume for optimal cleaning.
- Capacity losses due to hose length, UVC lamp and head.
- For thorough cleaning we recommend using a pump without a pre-filter so that dirt particles get into the filter instead of the pre-filter.
- To maximize the removal of dirt the pump should be placed in the deepest part of the pond.
- For optimum circulation the pump and filter outlet should be placed as far apart as possible.
- If you want a fountain or water bubble buy a separate pump with a pre-filter. These small pumps are very aff ordable and the fountain doesn’t have to spray all day.
