Submersible Pond Fountain Pumps With Spray Nozzles In The UK

When choosing a Fountain pump consider the running cost

You would be surprised at how often people think they are getting a bargain because the purchase price is low. Beware it is the actual running costs, bearing in mind a pond pump needs to run 24/7/365 days a year that determines whether a pump is a bargain or not. Remember that the major purpose of any pond pump is to provide a regular supply of oxygenated water to the beneficial bacteria living in your biological pond filter. In return these friendly bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) will thrive, ensuring that your pond water remains ammonia and nitrite free resulting in healthy, happy fish.

Fountains not only add beauty to any garden pond but also act as a natural aerator, supplying dissolved oxygen into your pond, resulting in a healthier environment for your koi and goldfish to live in. Fountain display are created by the type of nozzle attached to a fountain pump. The majority of fountain pumps have two outlets, allowing you to supply water to your biofilter and to some other device, such as a fountain. Please bear in mind that due to pressure drop you will be very lucky to achieve the perfect flow to each of these two simultaneously. Even if you get it right for now you will more than likely have to make some slight adjustment tomorrow. The best solution to this is to employ 2 pond pumps to save money.

Fish ponds exist in different depths, widths etc. You need to be aware that if your pond is 3 foot deep and your pump and extension nozzle measure 2 foot then your pump will need to be lifted off the pond floor somehow. This is critically important when choosing a fountain pump.

Choosing the right fountain pump is in my opinion a matter of selecting a model from an Industry recognised supplier and ensuring that the model is supplied with a variety of spray nozzles that work adequately with the particular fountain pump model. The most common attachment nozzles are Cascade or tier sprays, Bubble effect, Tulip (inverted bubble) effect or Foam (gushing powerful jets).
