pump
What pump do I need for my waterfall?
This is the kind of pump you need to run a filter and/or a waterfall. They're designed to
suck in big bits of dirt from the pond and send them to the filter, so they rarely clog up and
need very little maintenance.
Water is pumped out of the pond and into the filter, coming back down a waterfall or via a
return pipe. You need a pump that moves the water fast enough to keep the pond clean.

What size do I need?
Use our guide on page 6 to work out how much water your pond holds and calculate your pumps
flow rate.
Pumping uphill
Pump flow rates are reduced when they pump uphill. An Aquaforce 6000 will pump 6000 litres an
hour on the level, if it is pumping the water 1m (3'3") higher than the pond surface it'll pump 4750
litres per hour. In most ponds the water is lifted around a metre out of the pond so all our pumps
show the flow rate at 1m (3'3"). For different heights give us a call and we'll advise on the type of
pump you need.
