I have read till I am blue in the face & still am at a loss as to what size pump I need. If I understand correctly Performance Pro. and Sequence are good brands to go with, but I have no idea which one (Size or Model) I need. Please Help :'(.
I have a 29' X 17' sort of kidney shaped pond. The deepest part is about 3.5' deep, but the avg. is about 2.50'. The waterfall is about 5' tall. The way it is currently laid out, the external pump will take water from the furtherest point of the pond from the waterfall, and deliver it to a 150 gal. Skippy filter behind the waterfall. Then the discharge from the filter will disperse down the waterfall which is about 2.5' wide. I hope I have given you enough information. I would like to have Koi in the pond, and I need a external pump that is good with energy but I also would like good flow on the waterfall. Oh, and the bummer is I really have to watch what I spend, but I do not want to sacrifice quality (I might have to save $ for a while
). I apologize for asking so much of you, but could you also suggest some trustworthy online stores to find the pumps.
Thank you
