Choosing the
right pump for your pond...
How many litres of water are
there in your pond? Measure the widest, longest and deepest
points of your pond in metres. then do this equation Width(m)xlength(m)xdepth(m)x1000=
Litres. For example a pond1m deep,2.5m wide and 7m long would
contain (0.9mx1.8mx6.3mx1000=10,206 litres) 10,206 litres.
Alternatively in imperial measure Width(ft)xlength(ft)xdepth(ft)x6.23=Gallons.
For example a pond 3ft deep,7ft wide and 20ft long would contain
(3ftx6ftx21ftx6.23=2355gallons) 2355gallons.
To effectively filter a well
stocked pond the pump needs to circulate its full capacity
every two hours. A pond holding 10,206 litres would need a
10,206 litres per hour (lph) pump. Alternatively a pond
holding 2355gallons would need a 1178 gallons per hour (gph)
pump. I f you also want a waterfall with a drop of 4metres
to the pond surface, the flow rate required would be 10,206lph
at 4m head. In short you will need a more poweful pump.

Waterfalls
The other thing
to bear in mind with a waterfall is the depth or thickness
of the water you would like to run over it. Use the diagram
below to work out how many gallons are needed to achieve a
given depth of waterfall 0.3m (1 ft) across. If its wider,
then multiply the flow in lph by the width in metres or
multiply the flow in gph by the width in feet.
Also remember to
measure how many feet your waterfall is above the surface
of the pond. Now you have both gph and height you can use
the performance tables, choose the pump with the performance
curve closest to where two figures coincide.

DW1700
|
The 1700 is a dirty
water pump fitted with a floatswitch as standard. Ideal for
ponds with larger gravity fed filter systems where the pump
can be incorporated in the filter, or in ponds which would
benefit from the pumps vortex impeller design, which means
it has the capacity to handle suspended solids up to 20mm
diameter. Low maintenance, continuously rated, open vane vortex
impeller, stepped hose connector, thermal overload protection
and a 2 year guarantee.

Surface self priming
pump ideal for applications where large waterfalls and/or
fountains are required involving large volumes of water. They
are also ideal for large koi ponds with filter systems. All
necessary pipe fittings are supplied loose to accomodate individual
requirements. Surface pumps need tp be protected from the
elements in a weatherproof, well ventilated housing and should
be sited as close to the pond as possible. Leaf basket filter
included, pipe fitting kit included, continuously rated, thermal
overload protection and a 2 year year guarantee.
