How to Choose the Right Pond Fountain Pump For You

We get it – with so many choices, it may be tempting to pick the cheapest and go from there. But the truth is that different pond pumps will be better for different ponds. Here at Your Pond Pros, our pond pumps give you the performance and reliability you need for a beautiful, crystal-clear pond.

If your pond is too powerful or weak for your pond, this will wreak havoc on your fountain. You can expect large jets of water or small trickles – neither of which makes for a pretty and satisfying water feature. That’s why it’s so important to choose a fountain pump that is compatible with your fountain and pond.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fountain Pumps

What Size Pump Do I Need for a Fountain?

The right size pump for your fountain all comes down to the height of your fountain and the volume of pond water. You also need the maximum “lift” measurement, which is also sometimes referred to as the head or rise. This measures how high your fountain can pump water. You need to choose a pump with a higher maximum lift than that number. 

Additionally, look at the galleons per hour. The water in your pond should circulate at least one time per hour. You can work this out by multiplying the diameter of your fountain spout by 100.

It’s also important to check the measurements of your pond fountain pump to ensure it’s the right fit for your fountain.

What Is the Difference Between a Pond Pump and a Fountain Pump?

Both fountain and pond pumps circulate water, but their methods are different.

1. A fountain pump will push water out of the fountain, creating beautiful patterns and water displays. When the water falls back down, it aerates the surface, pushing oxygen into the pond. They usually have adjustable flow controls, which help you find a pattern and flow you love aesthetically and also help you adjust how powerfully your fountain pump circulates water.
   
2. A pump pond’s primary purpose is not to look pretty but to focus on filtering and aerating the pond.

If you think a pond pump may be more up your street, we have a wide variety for you to check out.

Do Fountain Pumps Use a Lot of Electricity?

Here at Your Pond Pros, we ensure your pond pumps are energy efficient, which means you get the performance and power you need without worrying about a spike in your electricity bill. In general, look for energy ratings to double-check. 

Furthermore, with high-quality seals and hybrid technology, our pumps are built to last, keeping your pond healthy for as long as you need them.

Should You Run a Fountain Pump 24 Hours a Day?

It’s not always necessary to run a fountain pump 24/7, especially if your pond is already in good shape. That said, running a fountain pump continuously does have many benefits, such as oxygenising your pond, getting rid of stale and murky water, reducing algae growth, and creating a cleaner environment for your fish and plants overall. 

Our fountain pumps have been engineered to support 24-hour continuous use, which means you can run your pump risk and worry-free.
