Pond pumps are devices that circulate and filter water in ponds, ensuring adequate oxygen levels for fish and plants. They work by sucking in water, passing it through a filter, and expelling it under pressure, creating a water flow. Types include external, submersible, ornamental, filter, high-pressure, and dry-mounted pumps, each suited for different pond sizes and features.
If your pump isn't working as well as usual (or not working at all), you may notice your fountain or waterfall looks a little weak, and your pond may slowly turn green. Learning how to troubleshoot pump problems can save you time and money. You can easily fix many pump problems yourself to avoid purchasing a new pump.
