Water Feature Pumps

What type of water feature pump should I use?
The type of water feature pump you need depends on the size and style of your water feature. For smaller features like ornamental fountains, bubbling rocks, or statues, a low-flow, energy-efficient pump will be sufficient. These pumps are designed to provide a gentle and consistent flow, perfect for small decorative features. However, if your water feature is larger or involves moving water over greater distances, such as a multi-tiered fountain or cascading feature, you may need a more powerful pump that can handle a higher flow rate.

How do I select the right pump size for my water feature?
To select the right pump size, you'll need to consider the desired flow rate and the height or distance the water must be pumped. Most small water features require a pump that can move between 200 and 1000 litres per hour, depending on the feature's size. The height the water needs to be lifted (called the "head height") also affects pump selection—ensure the pump's specifications list a suitable head height for your feature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific water feature or consult with a pond specialist to determine the best pump size for your setup.
