There are important factors to consider when you are planning your project pond. The fish pond pump is the most important piece of equipment you want to install because the blood supply to your main filtration and accessories you can (for example, Ultra Violet Sterilizer, fountains, etc.) provide. Not only that the pump should be strong enough to circulate the right amount of flow through the filter, it must also be able to give your waterfall with enoughWater pressure to give the desired cascade. The factors you must consider when deciding on your pond pump are as follows:
Circulation
Ideally the pump should circulate the entire pond volume once per hour or more
Skimmer
If you plan to install a skimmer (highly recommended), you must specify the size of the skimmer under the pump. In other words, must be capable of skimmers, the amount of water enters the pump is circulated to treat.
HeadHeight
How far and how high you want to be pushing the water? Where is the pond pump, how many meters up from the waterfall? 1 = 1 foot for every foot the height of the head high.
At what distance from the pump is the farthest point, he had to push the water? (For example, the distance from the pump to the top of the waterfall or stream) for every 10 meters of horizontal distance = 1 foot at head height
Check the table on the height of the pump headSpecifications. If your head has a total height of 6 ', and you need a pump that circulates 2000 gallons per hour, then you want a pump that circulates even 2000 liters per hour at 6' height of the head.
Cascade Waterfall
If you plan to have a waterfall or stream, you will have the amount of flow away from the general circulation of an hour to appreciate. You will need to size the pump accordingly to compensate for the difference. A good estimate of the amount of water is 100To create gallons per hour per inch wide waterfall to a "sheet 1 / 4 of water.
Attachments
It is recommended that a smaller pump to remove any accessories or decorative elements you add to your pond is allowed to run. This also allows you to change accessories without the main water filtration and circulation.
Power Consumption
Consider the pump will run 24 hours a day all season pool, so that the energy consumption of a certain factor. Someenergy-efficient pumps on the market are also the most expensive, but at the end of the day of saving more than offset the additional costs of the pump.
To determine the monthly cost with this formula:
Watts divided by 1000 x kWh x 24 hours per day x 30.4 days per month
So a 2500 liters at a time, hours of operation of the pump to 250W on average costs:
250/1000 x $ 0.0629 x 24 x 30.4 = $ 11.47 per month
When in doubt it is always better to oversize your pump pond asbe disappointed with the speed of flow. Most shops do not like to be reimbursed for the pumps that were used. So it's important to choose wisely at the beginning. When I was in the power consumption of the above, a more expensive energy-efficient pump will pay for itself in the long run. There are various types of pumps on the market with different prices and features. Planning out the size of the pond and features in advance will help you find the right pump for the collectionWork.
