About Pond Pumps Adviser

Pond Pumps Adviser is an independent website about choosing, sizing and looking after pond pumps and the equipment that works with them. Our promise is simple: practical pond pump advice that helps you choose the right equipment for your pond, water feature, and budget.

What you will find here

• Guides that explain pump sizing, head height, filters, waterfalls and running costs in plain language.
• Calculators that turn your pond’s dimensions into the flow and head figures you need.
• Comparisons built from manufacturers’ published specifications.
• Troubleshooting help for when a pump stops, slows or gets noisy.

How we work

Everything on this site is desk research. We draw on published manufacturer information such as manuals and specification sheets, on retailer listings, and on well-established hydraulic formulas and pond-keeping rules of thumb, and we explain what we find. We do not run a test laboratory, and we do not claim to have installed, measured or long-term tested the products we discuss. Where a figure comes from a manufacturer or a retailer, we say so, and where sources disagree, we say that too.

We think that honesty is more useful to you than a confident-sounding review that was never carried out. You can read the details in our editorial standards and research methodology.

How the site is funded

Pond Pumps Adviser is supported by affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you follow a link to Amazon and buy something, the site may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This never decides which type of pump we say suits a particular pond, and we do not publish invented prices, ratings or stock levels. Full details are in our affiliate disclosure.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Amazon or any pump manufacturer.

What we cannot do

We provide general information, not professional advice for your specific installation. Pond equipment runs on mains electricity beside water. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your local electrical code, and use a qualified electrician for fixed wiring. For fish health problems, consult an aquatic veterinarian or a pond professional.
