Pond Pumps Melbourne

Pond pumps are essential for maintaining a healthy and clean pond environment. They circulate and filter the water, which helps to prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria and algae. Pond pumps come in a range of sizes and capacities, depending on the size of the pond.

These pumps have a small sponge section to stop waste from being sucked into the motor but won’t solve any issues regarding water clarity. Also, there is a limit to how many fish can be kept with a small pond pump as smaller pumps don’t have the biological filtration needed to have a heavily stocked pond.

If you have a larger pond and you are having concerns with fish health as well as water clarity, we recommend you invest in a larger Pond Pump, Filtration Unit, and Ultra Violet Steriliser. Once installed, your green water will become clear because of the UV steriliser, the fish will be healthy because of the Biological Filter, and your Pond will look great with an ornamental water fountain.

The price for this is approximately $500. Check out our video below of our Pond Pumps.

First, you need a Chlorine Neutraliser to remove the chlorine from the tap water (not required for tank water). You also require Water Conditioning salts to lift the mineral level, so the fish will be healthy. And lastly, a ‘Live Bacteria Filter Starter’ (BioActive8) to get the biological filter started, so you can add fish straight away.

Remember to add a few fish initially as the bacteria will multiply over the first 2-3 weeks allowing for more fish to be added later. We recommend adding a few fish weekly over a month.

At Waterlife, we also check your pond water for pH, ammonia,, and General Hardness….for FREE, bring in a sample regularly.
