| Choosing a water pump for your fish pond ... Grasp
the basics, make best decision. The water pump is the
heart of any water garden feature, nd without a good
one, your garden pond will be starved of critical,
life-giving oxygen. If you plan to populate your garden
pond with fish and other aquatic life, you need a good
water pump. But be aware that all water pumps are not
created equal. Here are some points to consider: Unless
you plan to have a pure water garden with only aquatic
plants, you'll need a quality water pump. And even then,
it's often a good idea to have a reliable pump gently
circulating water through your system

| Links to all topics related to gardening and fish
keeping. When it comes down to water garden ponds and
especially fish pond keeping (normally koi or goldfish)
some items of equipment are vital. Fish live in an
artificial aquatic environment and would slowly poison
themselves to death if pond filters were not installed
into the water pumping circuit). The main reason
therefore for a pond bio filter is to purify or clean
the garden fish pond. On the other hand murky and green
ponds are normally caused by green pond algae. This
problem which is worse in warm weather, over stocked
ponds and under bright sunlight conditions. Aquatic or
pond plants help remove nutrients that create the food
for pond algae but rarely solve green water problems
entirely. All pond inhabitants need oxygen. |

Selecting fountain pumps is easier than selecting
waterfall or pond pumps. There are so many pond pumps to
choose from it can become a nightmare for most
pondkeepers. I try to make it simple to choose the right
pump and I also suggest pumps that I know work and from
suppliers that I know are reliable and trustworthy |

Perfect pond waterfalls for any water garden. NO hassles
for you. |
| Perfect pond waterfalls for any water garden. NO
hassles for you. How To Select Your Garden Pond &
Waterfall Pump With Total Confidence Choosing a pond
pump to run your waterfall and pond filter can be a bit
tricky. The wrong choice can be costly and
disappointing. Make sure your pond pump runs 24/7 to
keep your pond filter working. Why every pond should
have a waterfall if for the fact that it helps to add
oxygen to pond water. Water contains oxygen and when the
water in a pond is circulated this oxygen is made
available for the fish, plants and bacteria that clean
the pond water. These bacteria live in the pond
biofilter and on all pond surfaces such as stones, logs,
plant material and so on. The easiest and cheapest way
to add oxygen to flowing water is to spray it using a
fountain attachment to your pump or let the water fall
down a waterfall or stream. The act of falling allows
water to come into good contact with air and the oxygen
is extracted this way |

Introducing Hassle-free pond pumps Most pond pumps have
a drawback |
| Introducing Hassle-free pond pumps Most pond pumps
have a drawback ... and that is the sponge on the
suction side that needs cleaning frequently to make sure
the pump flow rate is maintained. This sponge is
installed into most pumps to protect the impellor from
damage that could be caused if a stone or twig got
sucked into the pump. Since the impellor is rotating at
high speed any contact with the impellor could seriously
damage the rotating device. This is the basic reason why
impellors are rarely guaranteed by any pump
manufacturer. The sponge serves no other useful purpose
(with exception that it does create a small area for
beneficial bacteria to grow on). Sorry I tell a lie ....
when you use a pump to give a sprinkling type fountain
in a pond the sponge also reduces the incidence of the
fountain nozzles blocking up due to small particle
getting trapped in the fountain nozzles |

How To Choose Submersible Water Pumps, Garden Pond,
Waterfall & Fountain Pumps To Save Money. |
| How To Choose Submersible Water Pumps, Garden Pond,
Waterfall & Fountain Pumps To Save Money. Your pond fish
need to breathe. Submersible pond water pumps are
essential to provide oxygen for garden fish ponds & bio
filters. Why does my garden fish pond need a water pump
anyway? The water pumped around the garden fish pond
circuit supplies fish and pond filter bacteria with
life-giving oxygen. If the water pump stops for any
length of time (certainly more than 4 hours) the
bacteria within your fish pond's biofilter which are
there to purify the pond water die. The result is the
pond filter stops working and undesirable levels of
ammonia and nitrites build up in the pond water. These
impurities become highly toxic to pond fish and
especially koi at even low concentrations |
