Pumps are an essential part of any water garden. They are selected to operate a feature/waterfall, filtration system or simply to aerate water.

Feature/waterfall pumps are available in various sizes based upon the flow and lifting height required to acheive the desired effect.

Filtration pumps are designed primarily to operate filtration systems. These pumps are also available in various sizes based upon the volume of the pond and the size of the filter. All ponds benefit from the use of filtration systems.

All pumps can be used to simply circulate water. This aeration, in conjuction with water treatments assists the ponds clarity and helps create a natural balance.

So consider the following when choosing a pump:

1. The purpose for the pump e.g. filtration, waterfall or ----fountain effect.
2. The lifting height required from water level.
3. The flow rate required.
