1. Selecting Pond and Waterfall Pumps .. made easy here

Spring is just around the corner for our Northern Hemisphere readers. And many will be thinking about a new pump. Few retailers are able to correctly specify the right pond and waterfall pump ... the presence of a waterfall complicates the decision significantly. So choose the right pond and waterfall pump with confidence here and save money and disappointment

There are hundreds of makes and models of pond and waterfall pumps ... so many it is confusing and irritating trying to find the right one. In this section I have selected the pond and waterfall pump range from one of the USA's top manufacturers ....

And I have made selection and cost calculation easy. On the matter of cost do take note of the operating cost .... normally far more important than the original cost and if you ever compare pumps ALWAYS take this electricity cost into account.

The company is E G Danner ... 50 years in manufacturing. Their powerful low energy consumption pond and waterfall pumps are specially made to do the job reliably day in and day out and are GUARANTEED for 3 years. Also by shopping at the right place you get a much better price than the retail price normally offered.

How To Do It ....take a look at the table below and select the description best matching your situation and then click. If you are unsure ALWAYS go for a bigger pump.

In this table click on the link that appears to suit your need ... as you go down this table the pump is gradually increasing in power and capacity (ie getting bigger to suit wider waterfalls and larger ponds). Each pump has a long 3-core cable suitable for indoor or outdoor use and can be submersed on run outside the pond thereby providing maximum flexibility.

I want to pump up to a maximum of 250 gallons per hour at low running cost and low purchase price 24 hours per day ... I have a small low waterfall, small pond or no waterfall at all

I want to pump up to a maximum of 2400 gallons per hour at low running cost and low purchase price 24 hours per day .... I have a large sized waterfall not more than about 10 feet high and a pond of less than 4000 gallons

Hope you found this table useful and easy to use and choose from ....

2. Selecting Pond Plants

It is very difficult to find a summary of pond plants. It is even more difficult to find out in a table form what colour (if any) the flower is and whether they like sun or shade. Finding size when fully grown is also a challenge .... so I have done the hard work for you. Print this page out and send to your friends as well.

If you want to buy water plants then click here and enter water plants into the search box that comes up  and don't forget Free Water Lilies and Aquatics book ... see below.
