Selecting the right pond pump for the job is an important step in having a successful pond. Think ahead - most people add more and more features - filters, fountains and/or waterfalls - over time making adequate pumping an important issue. The pump is the life’s blood of the pond so this is not the place to cut costs. Pumps are under a heavy work load and must operate constantly and reliably 24 hours a day throughout the spring, summer and fall. Pumps that are too small for the job will clog more frequently, operate inefficiently and eventually fail. A pump failure can be devastating to the animal life in the pond.

Although algae is an essential part of the food web in aquatic systems, it can become so abundant that it interferes with the survival of other aquatic plant and animal species. In a natural pond the numbers of algal colonies will eventually become balanced with other members of the pond. In your garden pond, however, measures must frequently be taken to manage its growth.
