Fountain Pumps
| A beautiful way to transform your garden into an outdoor paradise is by adding breathtaking water fountains and ponds. Everyone loves the soothing sound of trickling water. With the addition of an outdoor water fountain, your garden will become a little piece of heaven on earth. When choosing an outdoor water fountain, also carefully choose an efficient water fountain pump. Water fountain pumps offer many benefits and there are several things to consider when choosing one.
Choosing a Water Fountain Pump Although there are several pumps available, the preferred pump style is the magnetic drive pump. It is known for its durability and efficiency. Energy Efficient Water Fountain Pumps When choosing a water fountain pump, it is important to check the energy efficiency of each model. Although some pumps are less expensive, they are likely to not be as cost effective because of their energy cost. An efficient pump will ensure your water fountain is always running at an affordable energy cost. |  |
Water Fountain Pumps -- Built to last
Another important thing to consider when choosing a pump is its durability. Make sure the pump is able to withstand the demands of running continually for weeks or months at a time. Again, it might be best to look at the higher end pumps to ensure you get one that's built to last.
Capacity
When selecting a pump, it is recommended to choose one that can circulate half the water in your pond every hour. For example, for a 1000-gallon pond, you will need a pump that can circulate 500 gallons per hour. Consult the specific instructions provided with your water fountain when choosing a pump.
Choosing a Water Filter Pump
To ensure your pond stays looking crystal clear, a filter is necessary. A filter works best with slow moving water. In most cases it is optimal to have two pumps. One pump is used for the water fountain and the other is used for the filter. Two pumps are recommended because the filter works best with slow moving water and the fountain looks best with faster moving water.
Choosing an efficient and durable water fountain pump will ensure that both your fountain and pond are always running beautifully.
