Selecting the proper submersible water pump is extremely important in order to achieve optimum performance of your pond or water feature. There are three basic types of water pumps available in the ornamental pond industry: motor driven, asynchronous, and magnetically driven pumps (also known as mag-drive). The following section will help you make the right decision. If you have questions about pump selection, please feel free to contact us. Motor driven water pumps provide consumers with a high torque, high head height pump option. Motor driven pumps are generally easier to maintain because of their solids-handling ability. It is important to note that motor driven pumps have to be operated within a specific performance curve to optimize lifespan. Asynchronous water pumps are a hybrid between a motor driven and mag-drive pump. They have only one moving part, making it less expensive and easy to maintain. This type of pump is extremely energy efficient, and choosing this pump over a traditional motor driven pump often pays for itself quickly in power consumption savings. Mag-drive water pumps are a simple and easy-to-use solution for small water features including small waterfalls. These pumps are easy to retrofit into existing water features and simple to maintain. Mag-drive pumps have only one moving part, making them inexpensive and easy to repair. Mag-drive pumps are also extremely quiet and energy efficient. AquaSurge® asynchronous pond pumps combine energy-efficient performance, high flow rates, and ease of maintenance, making this pump the ideal choice for pond owners. AquaSurge® pumps are ideal for use in pond skimmers and Pondless® Waterfall Vaults.
