Pond Pumps & Filters
There are literally hundreds of pond pumps and filters available. There are dozens of manufactuers including Bermuda, Draper, GreenGenie, Hozelock, Oase and many more.
Once we know the size of your pond, we can calculate the volume of water to be pumped. We then add into the equation the height the water has to be pumped up to.
Once we kow how many litres per hour are to be pumped we can offer you a range of pumps and filters to do the job. Note that the filter has to be chosen to match the output of the pump otherwise the filter may overflow. The other thing to bear in mind is that you must use the correct size hoses from the pump to the filter and from the filter back into the pond otherwise this could cause further problems.
If you are looking for low maintenance then there is a new generation of self-cleaning filters available which cut out the need to completely empty and clean the filters several times a year.
Depending on whether you are having a fish or wildlife pond, and depending on the clarity of water you require, you may need a UV (ultra violet) filter. When you have sunlight on water, then green algae will be generated. By passing water through ultra violet light, this effect is essentially reversed, taking the green out of the water.
Most gravity and compression pond filters now come with a UV light as standard. The water is passed through the UV lights first, before being passed through the filters themselves. The important thing to note here is that although the UV strip light itself becomes less effective over time and most manufacturers recommend that the UV strip light is replaced twice a year for optimum performance.
