How do I choose the right fountain pump for my pond?
Choosing the right fountain pump depends on the size of your pond and the desired fountain effect. The pump should be strong enough to circulate the water and create the height or spray pattern you want. You’ll need to ensure the pump’s head height (the height the water needs to be pumped vertically) is compatible with your fountain's requirements. Check the specifications of the pump to find one that suits the size and style of your fountain.
How do I maintain a fountain pump?
Fountain pumps require regular maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and provide a consistent water flow. Clean the pump's intake and filter regularly to prevent blockages caused by debris like leaves or algae. If your area experiences freezing temperatures during winter, consider removing and storing the pump to avoid damage from ice formation.
