To find a pump suitable for your pond, start by defining its purpose: feeding a filter, powering a waterfall, or animating a small water feature. While pond volume matters, it is not enough to choose the right model. The lift height, the piping, and the connected equipment determine the actual available flow rate.
You can prepare your selection on Aquishop and seek advice from the Aquiflor team in Nodebais. With a few measurements, it becomes possible to compare pumps that meet the same requirement, rather than relying solely on the maximum flow rate printed on the box.
Identifying the right family of pumps
A filter and stream pump transports water from the pond to the filtration system or the start of a waterfall. Depending on the model, it can allow certain particles to pass through so that they are retained by the filter.
A pump for a small water feature meets a different requirement: circulating water in an ornament, fountain, or decorative installation. Its design and flow rate must match the circuit, as well as the water quality specified by the manufacturer.
Finally, a drainage pump is used to evacuate water under the conditions indicated in its manual. Its presence in a pump section does not mean it is suitable for constant circulation in a pond. Always check the intended use and the continuous operating conditions.
