Which Pump is Right for me?
That all depends on your specific application. There are a lot of factors to consider before choosing your pump. What type of feature is the pump going to power? Is it a waterfall? A filter? A pottery fountain? How big is your feature? Those are all questions you need to have answers for before you select a pump. The proper size pump will be determined once all other design and construction decisions are finalized. Here is a helpful article to help you determine which type of pump you might need, as well as what size. Of course, once you have some base information to start from, you can always come in and speak to our knowledgeable staff at the pump desk and they’ll get you squared away!
