Large pond
pumps are necessary for helping to maintain the health of the
large pond. They do this by pumping water through the filter, keeping
the water free from debris and aerating it at the same time. Most
large pond pumps will have a fountain or waterfall attachment, allowing
the pump to have two functions. Your large pond pump can then maintain
a healthy water system and provide a focal point of beauty for your
waterscape.
When searching for large pond pumps you, most likely, will be looking
for external filtration pumps. These pumps are the most powerful pumps
and will be needed for ponds with more than 1000 gallons of water.
To power a waterfall or fountain also takes more energy, so you will
need to get a large pond pump that not only pumps all the water every
2 hours, but can also power your fountain or waterfall head.
You also need to be aware, though, that the larger the pump, the
greater the electrical need. Thus, your electrical bills will be higher.
One solution to this challenge is to either look for a very efficient
large pond pump, or to search for a solar pump. You can also get solar
energy systems that will power your pump and cost you no extra money.
It also helps the environment by cutting down on the use of fossil
fuels.
