Pond Air Pumps

Pond air pumps are important parts of your pond setup and help to keep the water moving around the pond. Good circulation also helps to ensure that oxygenation levels in the pond are high. If you are not planning to have a fountain or water feature in your pond, then a pond air pump that will move water around will be of great help.

Although many factors including humidity, temperature, stocking density and surface area to pond volume ratio, can affect the Oxygen levels within a pond, we generally recommend a minimum air flowrate of:

 100 Litres Per Hour (1.7 Litres Per Minute)
per 1000 Litres (220 Gallons) of Pond Volume
or
450 Litres Per Hour (7.5 Litres Per minute)
per 1000 Gallons (4500 Litres) of Pond Volume
