Optimal filtering and pump performance is one of the key elements in keeping a healthy and clean pond. Depending on your pond’s eco-system, the pump and filtering system required will vary. The best pumps filtrate the water, keep it oxygenated and some will even control algae via a built in UV light.
What Kind Of Filtration System Do I Need?
For a small pond with no fish and just plants? A basic submersible pump will suffice. Should you want fish in your pond, a centrifugal pump will be the best option. This keeps the water and oxygen well circulated for optimal fish health.
When choosing a pump, it is important to match it to your pond. The wrong pump and filter can cost you a lot in repairs, replacement or electricity. It may also not keep your pond as clean as it’s supposed to be. Points to consider are:
- Brand reputation
- Running costs
- Warranty
- Initial cost and outlay
