Re: installing a pup and fountain in a pond

Hi @auroracrystals,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

We have this handy guide on our website on How To Install a Pond Pump, which should answer many of your questions about installing a pond pump.

 

There is also this article from @Adam_W on How to install a garden pond, which provides some great information.

 

If you had specific questions about the process, could you please let us know some details so we can assist?

Re: installing a pmup and fountain in a pond

Thanks Jacob

We have just moved to a new house which has a waterfall and pump that does not work. we are trying to find actually what we need to have the water fall working plus the water fall in the main pond working - many thanks for help,  Brian

Re: installing a pup and fountain in a pond

Hi Brian (@auroracrystals),

 

How big a waterfall and pond are we talking about here?

 

The two main things that are important are matching the pump to the volume of the pond and the height the water needs to be raised.

 

If you can provide some details about the rough size of the pond, the height the water needs to be raised from the pond to the top of the waterfall and maybe some photos, I could certainly assist you with selecting the right products.

 

Each pump is going to be slightly different in terms of its installation, but once we know what we can use, I can certainly give you some guidance on how to install it.
