Pond Pump Waterfall

Importance of a Good Pond Pump for Your Waterfall

Do you have a waterfall in your pond or are you planning to create a new one? Choosing the right pond pump is crucial for achieving a beautiful result. If you choose a pump that's too small, your waterfall won't look full and graceful. If you choose a pump that's too large, the waterfall will crash too loudly, create a lot of noise, and may disturb your fish.

For the perfect waterfall, you need the right capacity, and we recommend a variable pond pump. With a variable pond pump, you can perfectly adjust the waterfall to the right capacity. Want to know how much (net) capacity you approximately need for your waterfall? We have created a handy calculator to determine the capacity for your waterfall.

Benefits of a Waterfall Pond

A waterfall ensures circulation of your pond water and adds extra oxygen to your pond. By having prolonged contact with the outside air, a waterfall facilitates the exchange of gases like oxygen and CO2. This is important for proper aeration of your pond.

Do you want extra aeration besides a waterfall in your pond? Consider a fountain pump to provide additional aeration to your pond.

Extra Pond Pump for Waterfall Besides Filter

You can use the output of, for example, your pressure filter for creating a waterfall or stream. However, there can be advantages to using a separate pump for your waterfall. This offers the following benefits:

• You can vary the flow for your waterfall and use a different output than your filter
• You can choose to turn off the waterfall at night to reduce noise
• You can create the waterfall at a different location than the output of your pressure filter
• You create even more circulation
