Power and water connections:
Proximity of
the pond to power and water connections can
facilitate operation and control of the devices
in and on the pond.
Hose diameter:
When selecting hoses select
a diameter that is as large as possible to avoid
excessive friction losses.
The right pond technology:
In addition to selecting
the right combination of pump, filter, and UVC
clarifier, the position of the pump in the pond also
plays a role: A filter pump should be placed as deep
as possible so that it can displace pond floor
sediment. Fountain pumps are positioned
closer to the surface for reduced
maintenance.
Step-by-step instructions for pond construction are
on the next page.
Basic garden pond
equipment includes:
• Pond liner
(page 220)
or
preformed pond
(starting on page 234)
•
Pond fleece
(page 220) to
protects the pond liner
•
Pump
for operating a filter,
a fountain or a watercourse
(starting on page 42)
•
Filter
for biological-mechanical
cleaning (starting on page 86)
•
Skimmer
for surface cleaning
(starting on page 160)
•
Pond aeration
for supplying
the pond with oxygen
(starting on page 146)
Recommendation
For selecting the right fountain pump the
following applies:
Maximum fountain height = minimum
distance to the nearest edge of the pond!
To feed a higher elevated watercourse the OASE
pressure filters BioPress (page 96) and FiltoClear
(page 98), as well as the matching AquaMax
(from page 68) filter pump are suitable!
Rule of thumb for determining the right
pump for a watercourse:
Watercourse width (cm) x 1.5 =
pump capacity in l/min.
