Introducing Pond Pumps
Installing a good pond pump benefits you and the eco-system, recounts Vickie Harrison in this inaugural installation of guest post, the first in a series of articles on garden solutions.
Why Pond Pumps are Good for the Environment
If you have a pond in your garden you may already be aware of how pond pumps work. But you may not realise just how good they are for your garden and, as a consequence, the environment.
How Pond Pumps Work
For those who don't know, pond pumps and filters keep the water in your pond oxygenated and circulating properly. It's a continuous process which has all sorts of direct benefits for your pond, including keeping it algae free and keep your fish alive!
Pumps also keep your water clean by filtering out anything that's not supposed to be there – this includes algae but also refers to any other junk which may have gotten into your pond water.
The internal mechanisms of all pond pumps include a motor, rotating impeller and volute, all of which work in harmony to keep your pond clean and fresh. Pumps can either be above the water’s surface or submerged, but many people choose to have a submerged pump simply because they are more reliable and look better.
A Clean Pond is a Happy Pond
There’s nothing better than having a clean pond in your garden, and it’s not just you who thinks so. Having a clean pond will confer numerous benefits on both the inhabitants of the pond and its vicinity, most noticeably by preventing your pond from turning into a dirty, sewage filled mess.
Don’t worry about a pump removing too much ‘friendly bacteria’ from your pond’s water – its surface area will prove to be a breeding ground for all sorts of nice bacteria which will help to break down any toxins in the water.
The knock-on effect of having a nice clean pond will mean that it is able to provide clean drinking water for the other inhabitants of your garden - including your beloved pets, if you have them – and it won't become a breeding ground for nasty bacteria which could potentially spread outwards and affect your garden. This is great news for the environment!
How to Maintain Your Pond Pump
Simply put, pond pumps don’t require maintenance. All you need to do is keep the filter clean and make sure the water level in your pond doesn’t fall too low if you’re using a submerged pump. After installing, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy your lovely clean pond – it’s really that simple.
