Hi Mark, how do you get Aquascape pumps with the plugs for UK powersockets? The one I ordered previously came with the US voltage and plug :/
waterfeature.shop
Yes the other pumps are designed for the US. Great comment for others "Make sure you source the UK Models"
Mark: solving a mystery for a lot DIY pond builders like myself. Videos seldom explain the pump size/type they use and it remains a mystery for most of us. I think you were the first to show me a T-valve off of the main to regulate pressure as opposed to throttling the pump inline. Good stuff!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the content
Love this video on which pond pump to use. Full of information to clarify which pump will suit your style of pond or waterfeature. Love the quality of the footage too a really clear picture.
Thank you, trying hard to improve the quality to match the water features
very surprised first video i was looking at for research on this topic and it has all the info i could need to go from there, thanks for this video man
Thank you 🙏
Good video mark. This will help a lot of people planning a water feature 👍👍
Thank you my friend
Great overview, thank you for your kindness!
thank you, glad you liked it
Great video Mark, helpful to see what pump does what 👌
Thank you
Great video. Information like this helps a lot
thank you
Great info, Mark!!
Thank you, means a lot
Very informative Mark. Digging the new top mate 👍
Thank you 🙏
Really useful tutorial - thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 😊 mark for your help bless you
My pleasure
Very educational video learned alot from watching this. thank you 😊
Thank you for your time
@@ThePondAdvisor no problems m8 i have bought a house and comes with very murky koi pond so steep learning curve for me your videos have been very helpful 😀
Nice video. Thank you! 👏🏻
Thank you too!
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm still unsure what's best for my pond though. I have a 3x20ft pond with no fish. I'm looking to keep the water moving to stop mosquitos. A fountain might be nice, but not essential. Can you recommend a pump suitable for this?
Hey Mark, im still no further forward 😂
I’m going to be creating a small water feature with a bottom “pond” of around 45 litres and then a similar size/pre formed water fall at the top. Using stones to create a water fall type feature.
Would I be fine with the smaller pump and filter or would I really need the big one?
very good explanation
Glad you think so!
Hello, Mark. Long time no see. Ozarks,USA
Welcome back
👏🏾 ok i get the idea now. Mark i am buikding a 3 metet round pound/pool well it will look like a pound but it will have a walk in entrace for those hot days for one to enter. I will also have a waterfall about the pound/pool which will bring water down into the pool and back out to the waterfall again. Looking at this video the eco wave sounds like the kid for me so can you give me some advice ? So i was going to make 3 large box's with one having the pump filtering the water into tye other two which then will swnd the water down onto the waterfall. Do i need a skimmer and do i need a bottom drain with this type of set up do you think ?
Regards
Sylvester
Thanks for all your helpful videos!! Can you recommend a solar pond pump for a bog filter??
I can’t recommend any solar pumps from a professional stand point!
Love the video. Hope to see the introduction about solar panel pump.
We have not had any solar pumps that we can recommend for professional use
@@ThePondAdvisor I was assuming this was the answer before I even asked the question. Pretty useless currently? The claims I'm seeing are mostly ridiculous (and clearly made up in many cases). I'm just looking for a reasonable solar pump, 600lph, 1+ mtr head but nigh on impossible to find anything at a reasonable price or with believable claimed "specs"
Still not found a good solar pump 😢
Hi Mark, just a quick question, which of the pumps will you recommend for filtering a concrete catfish pond through a self made barrel filter?
Depends on the size of the pond. I would guess an adjustable flow rate.
Hi mark I have a 1000 lph pump circulating a small water feature.
Would just changing the pump to 3500 lph be too much of an increase.
I just want more sound from the fall of water.
Thanks
Great overview 👍
Depends on the plumbing, you might not get any more water
Hi Mark, I have an Eco flow 1000 pump that sits submerged in the pond. However, the pond has turned green very quickly. Would you advise a filter incorporated within the system and if so what would you recommend ? Thank you 👍
This is a great open ended question.
Hi,
This isnt technically pond related. Just wondering what kind of inline pump you would recommend for a cold plunge pool with chiller. The plunge holds approx 500 litres and ideally the pump needs to have 3/4 inch barb fittings, any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers :)
The price is steep on the ecowave pump but I looked up the wattage and it really is unmatched in power efficiency. Would take a few years for the electricity cost to outweigh the initial price.
It really is unmatched, both in efficiency and quality, you pay for want you get, having said that power is power
Hi mark great vid as always one question how do you join the pond college
Reach out mark@anypond.com for long term placements or the events page on the website for single courses.
I've always found that powerheads get clogged with leaves.... how do these Aquascape ones deal with intake?
If you have a lot of leaves they are sucking and blowing so will suck in the leaves, they do carry on working however, in the ecosystem ponds leaves are not normally a problem I have three in the lockdown pond, two are in front of the skimmer and this helps the skimming action as the extra pull over to the skimmer box.
Hi Mark, I wanted to know if it is possible to use one "large" pond pump to run 3 different spillway displays. Two of the spillways are 12 inches wide and one spillway is 24 inches wide. The two 12" spillways will be about 7 feet high, and the 24-inch-wide spillway will be 8 feet high. How large of a pond pump would I need to run all 3 spillways? 5,000GPH or 8,000 GPH 10,000 GPH? Thanks for your help, and your videos are very helpful, full of wonderful knowledge!
Yes, absolutely
czcams.com/video/kBxFVbxMuBA/video.htmlsi=WCLVM9xmpnHH4FK3
You would need a value on each outlet so you can control the flow
So stronger flow to the larger spill way because of it's size and because it is higher than the 2 smaller sized spillways because of lower height and size! Thank you for your response. Also, the pond is approximately a 15 foot across circle and 30 inches deep, how big of a filter will I need? Will have plants and fish in it eventually. Thanks...

Question, what stops water getting into the electrics of a submersible pond pump ?
It surely can't be just a water tight compartment is it ? or is it ? any help appreciated.
Resin filled so sealed
Hi, Mark I came across your videos because I’m in the process of building a pond in my garden. I live in rural Portugal and we don’t have, at least where I live, anyone to help me on this matter so with the help of a friend we just started digging. The measures are roughly 4,5m length by 2,5m wide and 60cm deep. I’m adding a waterfall some plants and fishes. I was looking online for pumps and came across cascademax from ubbink. My question is what pump do you recommend for my pond of this brand. Thank you in advance
We have not used any of the ubbink pumps, seen them on some retail shelves but not used them, let us know
I'm doing a waterfall project,with 6 features ..With two of them at 8 ft... 2 @6ft and 2 at 4ft..what kind of water fall pump do I need
I would go with the SLD 2000 - 5000 on 50mm pvc pipe
Hi, I have a 1 acre deep pond (18 feet in the center). We are using 3 pumps to service 3 waterfalls -- side-by-each. Currently using Alpine 10,300gph pumps and they are getting clogged with algae and dying of burnout every 3-4 months... Its getting old... We try to fix until we cant and then I have to buy new ones... We do get Algae in the pond due to super hot summers and even all year... Over 40 degrees C (over 105 degrees F) in summer so algae is common... We submerge the Alpine about 10 feet as far as we can go with power cord... Any suggestions for replacement pumps? Do we need 10,300gph flow for a pump?
Thanks for reaching out, I would recommend installing an intake bay, have all the pumps in one place away from the waterfalls.
An intake bay, if your not familiar with them it’s like a huge skimmer box, these are indeed an excellent addition to a pond system. Intake bays help to remove debris, including algae, from the water surface before it has a chance to sink to the bottom. This can significantly reduce the load on the pump and improve its lifespan.
In addition to removing debris, intake bays also provide an accessible and convenient location to house the pumps. This makes maintenance, cleaning, and eventual replacement of the pump much easier compared to a fully submerged setup.
When designing the intake bay, it's important to consider the size and positioning. The bay should be large enough to handle the flow rate of your pumps, and it should be positioned where it can efficiently pull in floating debris (generally, this means it should be opposite to the flow of the waterfall).
You could also add a mechanical filter, such as a filter mats or pond netting. The large mechanical filter (pond net or mats) traps the larger particles, so much easier to manage.
These intake bays can be built to any size the key is to pull from one area over a large intake so it does not block up.
Hi Mark.
I am, unsuccessfully, trying to find a small solar pump for a barrel pond.
I want it to be nestled in between some rocks and tall enough to send the water burbling down over the rocks.
The barrel is 40cms high and I presume the head needs to be above the water?
I cannot find a small one that is tall enough.
Any ideas?
Thanks for all your videos.
We are having the same problems with solar pumps they are pretty much the same, we have not found any to recommend
@@ThePondAdvisor Thanks! Will have to see if can raise a shorter one up then.
@@ThePondAdvisor Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I got a Blumfeldt Wasserwerk 250 Solar Water Pump for my barrel and it works well. I just have it on a bubble setting between rocks so it gently burbles.
The pond is, however, still forming a greasy looking film over the water and smelling really bad even after being thoroughly cleaned and refilled with rain water. I have added Barely straw extract but the problem is not algae. Any idea what it might be? Is it likely something on the barrel?
Thanks!

My small pond is about 350 litres. I want to add a fountain and waterfall using just one pump. What size should I buy?
Ultra Pumps are perfect for this
What about solar pumps what do you recommend on them
I have not found anything over 1500 litres per hour and nothing professional grade. Yes lots of DIY solar feature pumps and I have clients using the ecowave 2000 (8000 litres per hour for) 65w on solar banks so the house has a bank of solar pant
what about solar pumps? I am putting in a small ~ wildlife pond that is far from electricity. It will be half bog/wildlife pond overflowing into a deeper goldfish pond. I think it will be 100 gallon wildlife and 200 gallon goldfish. I need a pump to take the water from the goldfish pond up to the bog/wildlife pond (about 2 feet up). I used to have 2 goldfish in a pond for about 3 years. Then I moved and temporarily housing them in a 150 gallon stock tank with a flower pot bog filter. Then they decided to spawn and now I have ~10. yikes!
We don’t have a solar pump currently we recommend
Appreciate the video, but I think most people want to have an idea of flow. We have no idea what a '1200' will look like coming out of a fountain head! Yes, I did see the other video, and that was no help, either - and it's even titled 'What pond pump size do I need'!
sorry to here that, i guess it depends on the fountain head you using
What is the best pump for a skimmer?
Eco Wave or SLD in my book
What kind of pump do I need, that will suck water down my in pond skimmer?
SLD

Hi, what dry pump would you advise for circulating water for a swim pond? Thanks for the video.
@@philippefenain4405 the SLD pump externally, but under the water line so flooded inside, as they are not designed to suck up.
What about solar pumps to run a small water fall
We don’t recommend any solar pumps currently as they are really to small and not found any that are guaranteed for more than a year.
@@ThePondAdvisor , it’s for a wildlife pond . I wanted some water movement but not a lot . Thought solar pump as I don’t have electric in the garden so wanted a greener approach mmmmm just might have to be a still pond .

If you really want to pump it up, you defo need one that goes up to eleven. 😐
Eleven?
