Cal Pump pump screen - 3.75" x 4.5"

Remember every fish pond needs a pump that runs 24/7 to be able to supply life-giving oxygen to your biofilter. It is vital therefore to choose a pond pump with at least 2 years guarantee and one that runs with low power consumption in order to keep the running cost down. Most fish ponds will go green in summer especially unless you install an Ultra Violet Light (sometimes called sterilizer or clarifier or UVC). The UVC kills the suspended algae responsible for green or brown murky water.
