Pond Pump
Why your backyard pond may need a pond pump
People often find that a pond in their backyard landscaping ideas gives them the kind of beautiful landscape they want to have often. They also find later on that a backyard pond requires a bit of attention when it comes to cleaning it after it has been installed and built into their landscape plans. Since cleaning a pond may require you to have pond filters installed, this means that you will also need a pond pump to work with your pond filters. A pond pump will also help you keep Pond Water from stagnating and can even be used with your pond decorative ideas.
When you first decide on a pond pump for your backyard pond, one of the few things you may need to consider is safety. You will need to have a proper and safe outdoor outlet for your pump. Since these things need to run on electricity, make sure that the outdoor outlet you have is one that is similar to bathroom outlets and is capable of automatically breaking the circuit should water come in contact with any open wires or electrical devices that could cause a short circuit. Once safety is assured and you have a proper outdoor outlet for your pump, you can then proceed to finding the right pump for your pond.
Some people reason that they don’t need a pond pump for their ponds since they do not have fish that will dirty the pond or they don’t have any artistic additions to their backyard pond that requires the circulation of water that a pump gives. What they don’t know is that whether or not they have these in their ponds, they will still need a pump for their ponds to help keep the pond clean and to use with their standard basket filter that will help keep them from having to clean their pond too often.
When choosing a pond pump for your backyard pond, you will need to consider the amount of water that your pump sucks in. The amount of water that your pump sucks is can be calculated at GPH or gallons per hour. You will need to check the GPH of the pump you are installing if you are thinking of using this pump with some of the things that you use in your pond like your waterfall installation or your pond filters. The more water your pump can move in an hour, the more powerful it is and the better it will be in terms of keeping you backyard pond clean and the water from stagnating.
Another thing that needs to be considered when you need to install a pond pump for your backyard pond is whether it is situated above the water or underneath the water. Each has its pros and cons that will include the ease of use and the ease of installation each type brings with it. Also included in the list of pros and cons for both types of pumps are the price, the noise factor, and the ease for repairing and maintaining these pumps.

(Non-op) pond pump needs over the winter?
Hi all! Quick question. I just emptied my small Garden Pond for the winter. If I plan to leave it empty and non-operational for the winter, is there anything I need/should do to protect the pump? It has a buried electrical line, and so, I cannot bring it indoors for the season. Thanks!
wrap it in sacking & tie with string, but why empty the pond, ponds are teaming with wildlife through the winter months, larve etc. best to keep full if possible.
