9. Submersible Pumps
• Submersible pumps are intended for use under water. In order
to provide the best circulation, a submersible pump should be
positioned in the deepest part of the pond. Be sure the pump
is easy to retrieve in case you need to access it for
maintenance. While many pond owners without fish may
choose to remove their submersible pumps over winter, those
with fish should keep the pump running. Adding a pond
heater can help prevent the pond and pump from freezing.

10. Selecting a Pump
• consider the size of your pond and whether or not it includes fish.
• Larger ponds and those with fish require pumps that operate
continuously and are capable of circulating the entire volume of the
pond every hour or two.
• If your pond also includes a waterfall or fountain, buying a separate
pump to power these features will allow you to switch them off
without interrupting the filtering and aeration of the pond.
