Pond Pump

12 years ago

I have a 5' x 9' pond about 30" deep. I'm looking for a pump for the pond and I saw one at Canadian Tire which is rated for 1650 gal per min. I pump the water back about 10 ft and about 4ft higher than the pond and then the water flows back into the pond.

Anyone out there that can advise if this is big enough.

Stanly,
I assume you mean 1650 gallon per hour. I would guess that your pond is about 500 gallons and that pump would be plenty big enough for the pond. Now the question is will it be big enough for the waterfall? How wide is the waterfall going to be? What size pipe are you going to use? The the pump say what the output is at 5 ft of head?
