Why Replace Your Pond Pump?

Pond pumps play a vital role in maintaining water circulation, filtering debris, and providing oxygen for your aquatic life. Here are some common signs that it might be time for a replacement:

Poor Water Circulation: If you notice stagnant water or algae buildup, your pump may not be functioning effectively.

Unusual Noises: Grinding or rattling sounds can indicate mechanical issues.

Increased Energy Bills: A pump working harder than it should can lead to higher energy costs.

Visible Wear and Tear: Cracks, leaks, or corrosion in the pump body can compromise its performance.

Choosing the Right Replacement Pump

When selecting a new fibreglass pond pump, consider the following factors:

Pump Size and Capacity

Choose a pump that fits the size of your pond. The general rule of thumb is to have a pump that can circulate the entire volume of your pond at least once every two hours. For example:

Small pond (up to 500 gallons): 250-500 GPH (gallons per hour)

Medium pond (500-1500 gallons): 500-1500 GPH

Large pond (1500+ gallons): 1500 GPH and above

Type of Pump

Fibreglass pumps come in various types:

Submersible Pumps: Ideal for deeper ponds; they sit underwater and are efficient in pumping water to the surface.

External Pumps: Better for larger ponds and offer higher efficiency and easier maintenance.
