When it comes to how to choose a pond pump, it starts with two things: your pond's volume and what you need the pump to do. Flow rate is measured in gallons per hour (GPH), and the general rule is to circulate your full pond volume at least once per hour. A 1,000-gallon pond needs a pump rated for at least 1,000 GPH.
Waterfall pumps need extra power to push water uphill, so size up based on how high and wide your spillway is. Aeration pumps prioritize steady, consistent flow over raw volume. If you're not sure which type fits your setup, contact us
