What is the difference between a filter pump and a regular pond pump?
A filter pump is specifically designed to work in conjunction with a pond filtration system to help remove debris, dirt, and harmful toxins from the water. While a regular pond pump primarily circulates water, a filter pump is engineered to handle larger solid particles, allowing them to be transported to the pond filter for removal. This helps maintain cleaner and healthier water, especially in fish ponds, as it supports the filtration system in keeping the water free of waste and pollutants.
How do I choose the right filter pump for my pond?
When selecting a filter pump, it’s important to consider the size of your pond and the type of filtration system you’re using. The pump should be able to circulate the total volume of your pond’s water once every one to two hours for effective filtration. Check the pump's flow rate and compatibility with your filter system. If you have a large pond or one with many fish, you may need a more powerful pump to handle the increased waste and ensure efficient filtration. Be sure to also factor in the pump's ability to handle the size of solid particles that may be present in your pond.
