14 best koi pond pump sizes
Koi pond pump sizes are essential considerations when designing and maintaining a koi pond, as they play a crucial role in ensuring proper water circulation, aeration, and filtration. Here's what you should know about selecting the right size for your koi pond:
Water Volume: The first factor to consider when choosing a koi pond pump size is the total water volume of your pond. You'll need a pump that can circulate the entire volume of water in the pond at least once per hour. To calculate the water volume, measure the length, width, and depth of your pond, and use this information to determine the gallons or liters of water it holds.
Head Height: Head height refers to the vertical distance between the surface of the water in the pond and the point where you plan to return the water to the pond, such as a waterfall or fountain. You'll need to factor in the head height when selecting a pump. The higher the head height, the more powerful the pump needs to be to maintain proper circulation and flow.
Filtration and Aeration: Consider any additional features in your koi pond, such as filtration systems, waterfalls, or fountains. These features will also impact the pump size requirements. Some pumps may need to accommodate not only the pond volume but also the requirements of these features.
Pump Flow Rate: Pond pumps are rated by their flow rate, usually measured in gallons per hour (GPH) or liters per hour (LPH). Ensure that the pump you choose has a flow rate that matches or exceeds the total volume of your pond. It's better to slightly oversize the pump than to have one that struggles to keep up with the pond's needs.
Energy Efficiency: Look for energy-efficient pond pumps, as they can help reduce operating costs and minimize energy consumption over time. Energy-efficient pumps are designed to provide the required flow rates while consuming less electricity.
Brand and Quality: Choose a reputable brand and a high-quality pump to ensure reliability and longevity.Cheaper, low-quality pumps may not perform well or last as long in the demanding conditions of a koi pond.
Regular Maintenance: Regardless of the pump size, regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Clean the pump and check for clogs or debris regularly to prevent issues.
In summary, when selecting a koi pond pump size, consider factors such as water volume, head height, additional features, and energy efficiency. A properly sized and well-maintained pump is essential for maintaining water quality, oxygenation, and circulation in your koi pond, which are all vital for the health and well-being of your koi fish.

User questions & answers
Question: | Having trouble keeping the lines between check valve and stones from freezing... Help |
Answer: | Yes. I think it would work great. The airflow is adjustable and can be set to the amount of air you want. |
Question: | How many gallon of water can this pump serve |
Answer: | It doesn't sound like a air stone issue, make sure that the airline filters are going in the right direction and blow on the tube to see if the stones work , also put pump setting on high and feel if the air is coming out of the pump if not it’s a faulty pump. |
Question: | How can I protect the pump when exposed to the elements |
Answer: | You can purchase just a diaphragm kit, PondAir 2 retails for $7.99, while the PondAir 4 retails for $14.99. You can contact the manufacturer for purchase or a dealer near you at 1-866-424-7629. |
Question: | How much air line comes with the pump? How large are the air stones |
Answer: | I live in Georgia but I leave mine out all year long. I have a large clay pot that we layed down that we placed the motor inside to keep it from the elements. The outside seems to be waterproof but we didn't want to take any chances. I purchased it in June 2016. |

Question: | what is the replacement UV bulb and does amazon sell this ? thanks |
Answer: | Clean filters often ! Ducks very messy. |
Question: | Can you run the pump without using the UV light |

Question: | My pond is 3ft deep, can you extend the fountain to reach that high |
Answer: | The filter box comes with 10 bio media balls. We hope this helps. |
Question: | I will be using this system in a 4x2x2 tub for my three small ducks to rince off and splash around. do you think this will work |
Answer: | Hi, I live in VA and when the pond freezes over I turn my pumps off. I have read where you can leave them on or turn them off during winter but I usually leave mine on up until the first freeze. I do insert a hose in the pond with the tip sticking out of the water to release gases that get trapped when the pond freezes over. Hope this helps. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this pump have an inlet to connect to a water supply to use it for an outdoor water fountain |
Answer: | no, not really it is intended to be an in-pond pump not an external pump, so the pump sits in the water submerged. |
Question: | How noisy is this unit, anyone know? If I was to run this in my backyard for 24 hrs, would it disturb my neighbors and I in the night |
Answer: | Hello. We have been running it 24 hours. and our BR window is about 20 yards away. We do not notice the pump noise. |
Question: | What is the size of the output nipple |
Answer: | I am rather certain it is 1". I am assuming you are referring to the thread size. Again I believe with good comfidence it is 1: NPT. Although an assortment of barbed nipples comes with the pump. I used 1" corrugated hose to service my old fashioned cast iron hand pump at the top of my spillway barrel. The pump supplies so much water that I had to dial it down to the minimum setting! |
Question: | what is approximate maximum depth for outlet? Thanks |
Answer: | I'm not sure that I fully understand you question and so to answer I'll tell you what I've done. The pump itself is approximately 9.5" high. The top part being the outlet pipe. I've set the pump on the bottom of the pond which is 22" deep. I have attached to the outlet pipe a hose that leads the water up to my waterfall which stands about 5' above the outlet pipe. My pond holds approximately 750 gals and the pressure from the pump is more than adequate. Hope that helps. |

The right pump for your pond!
The pump you choose is based on the size of your pond and the pumping capacity in gallons per hour (gph). The pump should circulate the entire volume of the pond at least every two hours. For example, if you have a 1,000-gallon pond, you need a pump that handles at least 500 gph. When in doubt, you should purchase a slightly more powerful pump. You can always slow or divert the flow of a pump, but you can’t increase it.

User questions & answers

Question: | Will this work in a 24 inch deep pond |

Dissolved oxygen levels are also generally lower in warmer water temperatures. Pond aerators oxygenate your pond, helping all biological processes and create a more stable environment, resulting in healthier fish and plants.

User questions & answers
Question: | does the air pump need to be protected from rain |
Answer: | Thanks for your question. Yes this pump needs to be protected from rain and snow. The Atlantic TAKIT0800 is an aeration system comparable to the PondAir 4, but it's compressor carries a 3 year warranty and has a weatherproof housing. If weatherproofing is necessary for your application I highly recommend looking into that system. If you need more help you can call Pond & Garden Depot toll free at 1-866-305-5459 Cody H. Customer Service |
Question: | Can this pump be adapted to solar power |
Answer: | Thanks for your question. The biggest issue with adapting any type of pump to solar power is that solar panels have an output of a DC electrical current. Even if your equipment puts out the correct wattage most pumps still operate on AC current. So if you get a DC to AC inverter that solves the issue. However without power storage the pump will only run when in direct sunlight and in the case of an aeration system that is far from optimal. So yes it's possible, but there's a lot of small issues that make it very inconvenient and potentially expensive. If you have anymore questions you can call Pond & Garden Depot toll free at 1-866-305-5459 Cody H. |
Question: | Will 8" air stone work with this |
Answer: | Dont know about the 8" but on season and two stones stopped blowing air through them out hav fun |
Question: | How does this unit get wired - does it plug into an outlet |
Answer: | Yes, there is a 6 foot power cord attached to the compressor that will plug into a standard 120-Volt GFCI protected outlet. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord may overheat if the cord is rated for less amperes or watts than the unit rating. |

User questions & answers
Question: | we prefer to use the tube to make a waterfall (not a fountain). Is that possible with this unit |
Answer: | this unit is very powerful - in my opinion, it has enough output to handle a waterfall. make sure you have extra filters on hand or make sure you regularly clean the filter that comes with the unit - it prevents a world of gunk from clogging the impellers inside the pump, especially if you have fish. |
Question: | Our pond is 3 feet deep. If I bought extra extension tubes, is the pump powerful enough to push the water over 4 feet to make a fountain |
Answer: | my pond is 2 ft deep, and it works well in my pond, but I'm planning on making mine deeper to 3 ft next month, I would think it would be fine but I'm not 100% sure. |
Question: | can power cord be removed |
Answer: | No the power cord as I view it cannot be removed. |
Question: | With the 2 extension tubes attached to the pump how deep of water can the pump be placed in |
Answer: | Here is an update on the pump.. I purchased a bigger pump that does 1350 gpm at Harbor Freight it is on sale for 59.00 and is 1/6 hp. I needed something stronger for my water fall tubes which is a total of 6. I may use this pump just a fountain feature. Its a good pump, but for my application, I needed something a little more powerful. |
