| SPECIFICATION TABLE FOR SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS
The tables below will assist you in the selection of the correct water
pump for your needs. Note: Many customers tell us they
underestimated their needs and wish they had bought a larger pump. For
this reason, we recommend the selection of the pump one size higher than
the minimum shown by the table.
We have never had a customer who whished they purchased a smaller pump!
FOUNTAIN PUMPS
For small table top fountain making the Allpondpumps Pro 65-388 ViaAqua
80-480 and the Rio pumps 50-600 are most often used. You will want to consider
the total height that the pump will need to pump to on the fountain. You
will want to choose a pump that has a max head higher than the height you
need to pump to. For example: a fountain that has water rising 2 foot would
take a fountain pump that has a 2.5 foot or higher max head. If you do not
use a pump with a max head higher than the level you wish to pump to then
the water will barely trickle out.
Larger indoor or outdoor fountains should consider a pump with a max
head at least a foot or two higher than the height they will pump to.
POND PUMPS
There are many pond pumps available for all size ponds. From the smallest
container watergarden to a 10,000 gallon pond, we have or can get the
pond pump you need. Pond circulation should be 2 x 3 times volume of small
ponds. Larger ponds should have circulation as close to total volume as
possible. You will want to consider the total size of your pond in gallons.
Length x width x average depth x 7.5 should give you a close estimate
on the number of gallons your pond contains.
When you look for a pond pump, please choose only those that indicate
a three prong heavy duty cord for outdoor use.
AQUARIUM PUMP
To assess your aquarium needs you should consider an aquarium pump that
circulates 4 times tank volume for freshwater aquariums and 5 times for
salt water aquariums. The use of filters or when raising water up from
a well or sump more than 1 foot will reduce the total GPH flow and should
be considered.
HYDROPONICS PUMPS
Our most popular selling water pumps for small home hydroponics systems
are the Rio 600 and ViaAqua 360 and 480 pumps. Larger systems will require
additional power and larger water pumps should be selected.
