FAQs

What is the difference between submersible and external pond pumps?

• Submersible pumps — Installed underwater, ideal for small to medium-sized ponds.

• External pumps — Positioned outside the pond, suitable for large systems with high flow requirements.

How do I know if my pond pump is the right size?

Choose a pump that can circulate your pond’s entire water volume at least once every two hours. Consider flow rate, pond size and head height when selecting. Our team can also help you determine the ideal pump size for your specific setup, ensuring optimal performance.

How often should I clean my pond water pump?

Regular cleaning is crucial to remove debris and algae build-up. We recommend cleaning your pump every 3–6 months, or more frequently if you notice reduced flow or unusual noise. For optimal pond health, consider pairing your pump with a high-quality pond water filter to minimise debris and reduce cleaning frequency.

How can I enhance my pond?

You can enhance your pond’s appeal with LED pond lights, creating a stunning display after dark. To improve its functionality, consider using algae sludge treatments, pre-filter sponges and other essentials available in our pond accessories collection. Together, these additions can enhance and maintain your pond beautifully.

What is the average lifespan of a pond water pump?

With proper maintenance, most water pumps for ponds can last between 3 and 5 years, and some high-quality models may last even longer. Investing in a reputable brand ensures durability, with many offering extended warranties for added peace of mind.
