Learn How to Find & Use All the Pond & Water Gardening Equipment You Need For That Great Pond You've Always Wanted.
A great pond is not just a hole in the ground filled with water. In fact unless a pond is carefully planned it is almost certainly going to be a disaster and a waste of money. Don't fall into this trap. A garden pond with or without fish is a complete ecosystem and it needs some care and attention if it isn't to become a green murky overgrown eyesore. On the other hand a pond well planned is a true asset not only from an investment perspective but also from an enjoyment and inspirational viewpoint. The pleasure you will get from a well created pond will absorb you and entertain you for the rest of your life.
Pumps to push water to the top of a waterfall or fountain as shown in the image need more "muscle". If you already know the volume of water you need to pump then specify this at the height you need to pump to ... for example say to your retailer: "I need to pump 2,500 litres per hour of water to a height of 4 feet." Be careful of maximum flow rates provided on most pump boxes. These maximum flow rates assume you are pumping to a height o ZERO feet. Take a look at the pump tables here for clarity.
