When setting up your water feature, selecting the right pond pump is crucial. AQUAPRO provides a range of pond pumps, including submersible and low-voltage options, as well as high-flow pumps. Given that pond pumps operate 24/7, choosing a durable and reliable product is essential. 

Here are some guidelines to help you choose the ideal water feature pump for Australian ponds and gardens.

Choosing a water feature pump

When it comes to purchasing a pond pump, several factors should be taken into account. Firstly, the type of water feature you have is crucial, as not all pond pumps are compatible with every type of outdoor water feature. AQUAPRO feature kits include all the necessary parts for building your feature, including a compatible pond pump. If you prefer buying items separately, it’s a good idea to check the pump included in your feature kit to determine its requirements such as maximum pond water volume and output height or head.

Another essential element to consider is your feature’s flow rate, which indicates how many litres of water it moves per hour (LPH). This will determine the appropriate pump size to choose. 

Additionally, the cost of the pump should be taken into account. Since pond pumps run continuously and are essential for maintaining a healthy water feature, investing in a high-quality pump is recommended, even if it costs more upfront as they’ll generally have lower running and maintenance costs.

 

Selecting a pump for a waterfall

A reliable pond pump is essential for the perfect operation of your waterfall feature, regardless of whether you have a pond or a pondless waterfall. When it comes to waterfalls, we recommend using robust AQUAPRO water feature pumps for consistent results. 

If you’re unsure about which pump to choose, consider researching how to build a waterfall feature as this will give you a good idea of the type of pump you’ll need for your project. A high-quality AQUAPRO water feature pump is a long-term investment, guaranteed to be dependable and help maintain the health of your pond’s ecosystem in the long run.

 

Pumps for ponds and streams 

For optimal pond performance, selecting the right pump size is crucial. Larger ponds need higher-capacity pumps with more capacity for filtration, while smaller ones require smaller pumps. A 5m x 7m recreation pond, for instance, would need a bigger pump compared to a 1.2m x 1.8m pond. There are AQUAPRO pumps for every pond size, and all have been expertly designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards.

For a stream, you’ll need a higher volume submersible pond pump to keep the water flowing, and we suggest AQUAPRO submersible pumps for this purpose due to their versatility. The size and flow rate of the pump will depend on the volume of water in your stream.

 

The right pump for your decorative water feature

Choosing the right AQUAPRO water feature pump can make a big difference in the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your water feature. When selecting a pump, there are a few factors to consider.

• Firstly, consider the size and type of your water feature. A small fountain or pond will require a smaller pump than a larger waterfall or stream. AQUAPRO offers a range of pumps with varying flow rates and head heights to suit different water features.
• Next, consider the power source of the pump. AQUAPRO offers both solar-powered and mains electric-powered pumps. Solar-powered pumps are a great option for those looking for an eco-friendly and cost-effective option, particularly in far-flung corners of the garden. Mains electric-powered pumps offer more consistent water flow but do require a suitably located outdoor power point.
  
• Another important factor to consider is the ease of maintenance and cleaning. Quality water feature pumps are designed with easy access to the impeller and filter sponge for easy cleaning and maintenance.
• Lastly, consider the noise level of the pump. Some pumps can be quite noisy, which can be a distraction in outdoor settings. AQUAPRO offers pumps with low noise levels for a peaceful and enjoyable water feature experience.

By considering these factors, you can select the right AQUAPRO water feature pump for your needs and ensure optimal performance and aesthetic appeal of your water feature.
