Pump plays an important role in keeping a waterfall garden pond alive. A pond would never look the same without the pumps pushing the water to a higher level and let the gravity took over.

The water fall on the rock, splashing, churning and mixing the fresh oxygen for the fish and good bacteria to live happily.

Before buying a pump, you need to know what types of pump available in the market. You don't want to buy a wrong pump because your decision will affect your gardening experience from now on. Besides having fun, owning a pond can be a challenge for first timer.

Basically, there are two types of pump: Submersible Pump and External Pump. Literally speaking, submersible pump is a pump that operates inside the water. External pump is a pump that operates from outside the pond. Both pumps function in the same manner but differ in the capability and installation design. The submersible pump is a simple pump and easy to install. It is suitable to small ponds and some medium size pond. Meanwhile, the external pump is not so simple and requires some experience in pump installation. Normally, serious pondkeepers who want a healthy crystal clear pond for their prize Koi fish, consider this pump seriously. It is more suitable to a larger pond.
