Pond Pumps - Water

When you buy a pump for a garden koi pond you're investing in an asset that will incur running costs for every minute it runs ... and more importantly and something few pond keepers fully realize is that your investing in the future well being, in fact life, of any fish in the pond.

Your pump is there first and foremost to keep your fish alive by circulating oxygen dissolved in the water to those bacteria that exist in a pond filter. These pond filter bacteria are the reason why it's possible to keep fish in a small artificial environment in your garden. In return for providing these bacteria with the oxygen they need the inhabitants of your pond will not only survive they will thrive and give you and your family countless hours of wonder and inspiration for years to come.

These same bacteria are also the sole reason why a pump for a fish pond MUST run 24 hours every day and 365 days every year. Think of a pond pump not only in terms of circulating water or driving a waterfall but also in terms of providing bacteria in the biofilter with the oxygen required to allow the biofilter to work.
