Important note...

The figures below are only intended as a
guide, many factors come into account when choosing both the perfect pump
and filter. They include sun, pond depth, size of pond, hose size and
length, waterfall height and of course fish stocking -

*No fish - Near natural garden ponds
in shade, at least 70cm deep with
plant zones, without fish.
**Some fish -
Near natural garden pond with plants and fish stock of
40cm
per 1,000 litres
***Medium fish - Near natural garden pond with plants and fish stock of up to
60cm
per 1,000 litres
****Lots fish
- Near natural garden pond with plants and fish stock of up to
80cm
per 1,000 litres
***** Koi and Turtles -
Pressure filters are not ideal for Koi
or turtles due to the extreme amount of waste they create and have trouble
processing the waste due to their design , therefore,
gravity filters are better suited.
However, due to their size and fact that gravity filters must be mounted at the top of a waterfall or above pond level, there
may be no other choice. In this case use a pressure filter but we suggest that
the pump and filter be a little oversize maintain water quality.
For Australian conditions... The above
figures have been adjusted by us for Australian conditions, please do not be
confused by anyone else's calculations that may be for the European market as they are different
because of our climate
