Pond pump sizing
On 5/13/04 12:55 PM, "Mark Bannister"
wrote: Too small for a koi or two? They wouldn't be happy, and if you want primarily a plant pond you won't be either - they make a mess of plants. Get goldfish. Should water turn-over be 2-3 times an hour as some sites suggest (that's a lot of water to move)? Mine turns over once an hour (4000-5000 gallons) IMHO, turn over rate can be less for a larger pond. Why are there not any pond pump head calculators out there? Can I just not find them? Head loss is really specific to the manufacturer of the pump. Go to their web sites and most will give a graphic illustration of head loss.
