Heavy Duty External-Submersible Koi Garden Statuary Fountain Pond Pumps
A koi pond pump is paramount
for any type of water feature, whether it is a koi pond,
fountain statuary or pondless waterfall. They
aide in the maintenance of a balanced ecosystem while also help
with beautifying your water feature.
There are many different types of pond pumps, below
is a list with a brief explanation of each.
Mag (Magnetic) Drive
Magnetic drive pond pumps are the most commonly
used koi pond pumps. They can be big or small submersible
pond pumps and are non-oil lubricated pond pumps ideal
for powering everything from a pond filter to a waterfall
system. Reliabile and energy efficient.
Direct Drive
Powerful but, use more electricity than mag drive pond pumps.
Great for high head pressure applications, ie. waterfalls.
External or Inline
Large external pond pumps are used for large pond
applications due to their high flow rates and high head pressures.
They may need to be primed or are self-priming.
Statuary Fountain
A statuary fountain pump usually has lower flow
rates and head pressures, and sometimes comes with a pre-filter.
They're best applied to small water displays, fountains or
pond spitters.
Debris-handing or Solids Handling
Heavy duty
pond pumps ideal for
ponds with lots of debris. They won't clog as easily as other
pumps and are more powerful, which means less maintenance
but, may be more expensive.
