The pond pump is the lifeblood of all koi water garden or Koi Pond. Whether you are a new pool or replacing an existing pump, there are many options when it comes to buying a pump. There are also many things to consider when choosing the type and size of the pump to buy. Most ponds have a slotted spoon to deal with some mechanical and biological filtration. And 'where the main pump is usually located and offers most if not all the movements of water for the pond full. The pond mayhave more than a slotted spoon or skimmer can be more of a pump, depending on the size and shape of the pond. It may fall into a stream or water or a combination. An external filter or skimmer can be affected.
Water flow
The first thing to consider is the amount of water flows for the Koi pond or water garden koi is required. Ideally, the entire volume of the lake more than two hours should all be shot. For example, a 5000 gallon pond would require 2500Liters per hour flow. To calculate the volume of water, multiply the average length of time the average width times the average depth of cubic meters to fetch water. Multiply the cubic feet by 7.5 to reach the volume in liters. For example, a pond 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 2.5 meters deep to 240 cubic meters of water (12 x 8 x 2.5 = 240) would be. 240 x 7.5 = 1,800 gallons of water. This would require at least 900 liters per hour of water in motion. The next thing to consider is how high theThe water must be pumped out. This is the pressure in the head, called most of the pumps in their list of high quality specifications. For example, a pump of 1,200 GPH 900 GPH pump can only 3 meters of pressure head. The size of the tube is also a difference in pump performance. For best flow rates of the inner tube diameter should be 1 / 2 inch larger than the pump power. If a pump is 1 1 / 2 inch exhaust pipe internal diameter must be 2 inches for the best rates of flow. The pipeline is still a bit 'Restriction and 100 gph for every 10 meters of pipe must be added to the size of the pump. Now we are all together. The pond is 12 x 8 x 2.5 and has a waterfall that you use a meter above the waterline and the total length of the pipe is 20 meters. 12 'x 8' x 2.5 '= 240 cubic feet. 240 x 7.5 = 1800 gallons. 1,800 / 2 = 900 gph. 900 + 200 = 1,100. The pump size should be at least 1,100 gph @ 3 'head pressure.
Types of pumps pond
There are two types of pond pumps. The most common typeThe submersible pump is normally in a pond skimmer is submerged. There are also two types of pumps. The first type is the magnetic drive pump, producing a low flow rate and maximum amount of support from other types of pumps. You typically use less energy and is very inexpensive to operate. The pump is the most popular Pump Pondmaster magnetic drive pumps May These vary in size from 200 - 2400 gph. The disadvantages are that the solids do not exceed any size and must be usedwith a pre-filter. They are ideal for running small fountains, waterfalls and small ultraviolet sterilizers. The next type of submersible pump is a pump driven directly. She has more power than the magnetic coupling pumps and flow rates much higher. You are also able to pass solids up to 10 mm in diameter. This type of pump uses more energy than the magnetic drive pumps. ShinMaywa pumps are more durable and affordable direct drive submersible pumps rated at the market. These pumps range3300-31800 gph measures with maximum lift height of 49 meters. The Hy-Drive Technologies uses Pondmaster magnetic drive pumps, and is direct. Hy-Drive pumps are very cheap to use and the sizes range from 1,600 to 6,000 per hour. They do not pass solids, and direct pumping, which is not a factor when a skimmer, a mechanical filter that was used. They are ideal for medium sized koi koi ponds or water gardens. The Pondmaster Hy-Drive 4800, with a power of 250 watts maxPrevalence of 18.5 meters is the cheapest pump on the market.
The second type of pump is the pump outside the pond. They are stored out of water and can not be submerged. The advantages of this type of pump, higher flow rates, durability and economy. External pumps are typically used in applications to large pond, and twice as long as a submersible pump for half the cost of electricity. The market leader in outdoor pond pump is pumping sequence. Sequence PumpsRange in size from 3300-7800 gph with a maximum lift height of 24 meters.
Cost of Ownership
Consider the operating costs for the purchase of a pump. To perform a koi pond or water garden koi pump 24 hours a day and in many areas 365 days a year. The operating cost is the price of the pump, how long should it last, and how much does it cost to run. There are many types and brands of pumps on the market with a wide range of prices. The cost of the pump is only aFactor. Cheaper than a pump should be replaced every year and it burns twice the current is not a good value. The warranty period and the pump power must be compared with the price of the pump. The lower the power to run the cheaper the cost of the pump. The longer time means a guarantee, as the pump is expected to last. Keep the pump and clean pre-filter makes the pump more efficiently and last longer.
