How To Choose and Cost Your Pond Waterfall Pump

When you have a waterfall the choice of the correct pump can be very difficult because you need to understand how much water flow you want to go over the cascading edge (waterfall lip) as well as how high the pump must lift this quantity of water. This is why so many people are sold the totally incorrect pump with two potentially bad consequences ....

The pump sold is too powerful and costs too much in electricity (this is normally the route the retailer goes to be on the "safe side" but at the cost of the consumer

The pump is too small in which case an unsatisfactory waterfall is produced. because the pump has been used and the retailer will not accept it back ... often blaming "poor specification"
