Frequently Asked Questions
What size pump do I need for a fish pond?
For optimal pond health, choose a pump capable of turning over your pond's total volume at least once every two hours. For ponds with fish, a higher turnover of once per hour is ideal. Check out our Pond Pump Calculator for help to select the right sized pump here.
Does a pond pump use a lot of electricity?
Modern pond pumps, especially energy efficient and solar powered models, use very little electricity. Selecting an energy-efficient or solar pump helps to keep running costs low.
