Pumps
Hello everyone..
I need to replace a pump for my mothers pond.. I can't remember what the ratio is for turning over the water per hr. I.e. if she has a 200 gal pump do I need a 200 gph pump or something larger or smaller.. Thank you I'm pretty excited.. I'm opening my pond in the next few days getting ready for spring.. Im anxious to see how much they grew over the winter.. |

Often a smaller pond, assuming he meant to say (200 gallon pond) one would turn over 4x's/hour similar to an aquarium. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

But I was looking for the basic rule of thumb for pump sizes |
