Selecting a Pond Pump

High efficiency pumps are higher quality, will last longer and use less electricity. If project budget constraints are a concern, use a less expensive low efficiency pump. Pumps should be run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep the ecosystem functioning properly. Choosing a pump for a water garden should be based on a few job requirements. Desired flow, pumping height and electrical costs are all factors that need to be considered. The higher a pump needs to push the water, the less flow you are going to get out of that pump. The pump should turn the water over at least once an hour.
