Pond Pumps
To maintain clean, beautiful water in your pond, you need to keep the water moving. A pump will prevent stagnant waters that can lead to bad odors and mosquitoes nesting in your pond. Plus, you can attach a nozzle kit or spitter to add oxygen to water for a healthy aquatic environment.
About Our Pond Pump Selection
Selecting a TotalPond Pond Pump
Choose a pump that will turn the pond’s total water volume at least once every two hours. For example, if your pond holds 400 gallons of water you should choose a pump with a GPH (gallons per hour) rating of 200 or more.
TIP! If you will be adding fish to your pond, take into account that fish and Koi require additional water circulation, filtration, and aeration to maintain a balanced environment.
| Pump Size | For ponds up to | Pump Dimensions |
| 330 GPH | 600 gallons | 6 x 2.2 x 6 in. |

| 800 GPH | 1,600 gallons | 6 x 4 x 6.375 in. |
Tubing
Tubing is a conduit, allowing water to flow from a pump to the rest of your pond equipment.

Our Pond Pumps include a tubing adapter that's compatible with 3/4 in. ID (inner diameter) tubing. Its threaded outlet allows connection to nozzle kits and other water features.
Pump Add-ons
Pond pumps work best when used with filtration and aeration. Nozzles attach directly to the pumps, but most filtration and other accessories must be connected with tubing. All pumps and filters recommend the appropriate tubing.
We recommend a Pre-filter, Universal Filter Box, or a mesh pumpshield® to protect and extend the life of your pump.
