Oasis Pond Pumps

Selecting your Oasis Pump

If you have a small pond and just want to add a small fountain, then you do not need to worry about flow rates. A Universal 700, 1100 or 1800 will do the job. For bigger ponds see other pumps in the Universal range, the other ranges do not have fountain heads. The main thing to avoid, is having a high fountain in a small pond. A small breeze may cause the water spray to fall outside the pond and the pump will soon empty your pond. As a guide the height of the spray should be less than half the pond width.

If you want to have a waterfall or use a filtration system then you need to make sure that your pump will deliver an adequate flow. The flow rate provided by a pump varies with the head. The head is the difference in height between the pond water level and the top of the waterfall, filtration system or water feature.

Calculating your flow requirement

We have a calculator page to help you calculate the flow requirement. We also have a volume calculator which you may need if you have a filtration system.

Choosing The Right Size Pump

Select from pumps which can deliver the flow you require at the head you require. Use the appropriate link on the bottom of the column for more information about the pump. One of the most important differences is the ability to handle solids.
