What size would you recommend? Here is my setup: The pond is irregularly
oval, roughly 8' long and 4' wide (at it's widest) and about 3' deep. I
calculate it to be somewhere between 500 and 600 gallons. I've got a small
(~2 foot) waterfall at one of the "long" ends. I placed my pump at the end
opposite the waterfall to get better circulation, so the tubing ran about 6'
horizontally underwater and then up about 3 feet above the pond to the back
of the veggie filter, which spills back into the pond via the waterfall.

I tried out a 700gph PondMaster pump with this setup but got nothing more
than a trickle from the waterfall. Do I really need to go up to a 1500 or
2000 gph pump just to get a somewhat meaningful waterfall? By meaningful, I
mean about 8" wide, 1/4" deep.

TIA,

Fred

Oase has several sizes of pumps from which to choose. Sounds like you need
one of their Nautilus series.

That's what I have now. No complaints up until the last year or so and it
just doesn't have the umph that it used to. Of course, it was always a
little weaker than I wanted, so perhaps I just need a bigger pump.

Thanks.
