250 gal pond and need most efficent pump
Hi,
I want a pump that will cost the least to run since it will be running fairly constantly. I plan mostly a water garden so I will probably have lots of leaves dropping into water. I will also keep mosquito fish in it. Any filter considerations welcome!!! So any recommendations for 250 gal. (oblong shape with three "fingers") pond are much appreciated. Lyn |

Lyn I would recommend the Aqua Sea pumps--they're VERY efficient (some less than .9 amp). These are above ground pumps, not submersible--however when I installed my 3600 gph pump, I paid for the pump in 4 months (1.4 amp vs 7.2 amp). They ARE very quite (as advertised). The only issue is that they don't run with air in their lines, and in my case, if they are shut off, I have to work "priming" the lines to get them started (my holding tank is uphill, so if power goes off, all the water drains to the bottom)Šhttp://www.dolphinpumps.com/newpage1.htm Mark |
