What indeed.  Clearly the maintenance of ponds is a dark art, terabytes of information on the minutiae of pond maintenance are returned after even the most cursory of internet searches. And the ‘Pond Pump’ looms large in the literature - closely followed by articles of doom and gloom concerning ‘Pond Pump Filters’.

Scanning the search results, a creeping sense of F.O.M.O. develops, as it seems one may be the only person on Earth not tending to a lily-pad-strewn haven for frogs and newts.

A Pond Pump is simply a pump used for moving water around a pond. It can be virtually any kind of pump – submersible, diaphragm, surface mounted, centrifugal, whatever. As long as the media being pumped - comes from a pond.

You may consider that we here at Rotorflush Filters Limited, being manufacturers of industrial pumps and filtration equipment, are not best placed to advise or comment on the arcane uses of pond equipment. But not so, we have previous. 

In the mists of time at the dawn of Rotorflush, the company launched a phenomenally successful self-cleaning Pond Pump Filter that sold by the boat load.  Yes, we’ve done our time on Planet Pond Pump.

Rotorflush Filters Ltd  got out of the pond filter game, bigger fish and all that, but some of our products may be of use to the hapless weed ridden pond owner trying to breathe life into what would otherwise merely become a watery grave for tadpoles and newts.

Our smaller self-cleaning suction intake filters can be fitted to some makes of submersible Pond Pump that have a ¾ inch connection (up to 30 litres a minute) or a 1 ¼ inch connection (up to 90 litres a minute)

Have a look at our small filters page HERE.

As for pumps, our smallest filterpumps are perhaps a tad large for the average garden pond, but these can be found HERE.
