Choosing the Proper Pond Pump 选择适当的水池泵

Whether you have a preformed or a liner pond, a pond pump is a paramount component of any water feature.你是否有预或班轮池塘，池塘泵，是一种至高无上的组成部分没有水的特点。 Stagnant bodies of water attract mosquito infestations, which are a nuisance, and also undesirable, due to the recent outbreaks of the West Nile virus.停滞水体吸引蚊虫患，其中有一种滋扰，也不可取，由于最近爆发西尼罗河病毒。 Therefore, it is paramount that you utilize a pond pump that circulates your body of water.因此，这是至关重要的，你利用池塘泵循环，你的水体。

Pumps are available in both submersible and external (out-of-pond) models.泵可在潜水和外部（出-池）模式。 For the smaller pond (up to 1000 gallons of water), a submersible pump is对于规模较小的池塘（截至1000加仑水） ，潜水泵 the more economical and practical option.较经济实用的选择。 Submersible pumps can be placed directly in the pond and require relatively little installation.潜水电泵可直接放置在池塘，并要求较少的安装。 They are free of distracting noise, and for smaller ponds, can easily be utilized to drain your pond (if you hook up a hose to the output flow).他们都是免费的噪音干扰，并为规模较小的池塘，可轻易利用排水管池塘你（如果你钩了胶管输出流量） 。

In the old days, the main disadvantage of submersible pumps was that the pump seal could rupture and release oil coolant into the water.在旧时代，其主要缺点是潜水泵是泵密封可能破裂并释放油冷却成水。 However, this is not the case nowadays, because newer pumps are magnetic-driven, and no longer require coolant.然而，事实并非如此如今，因为新泵磁力驱动，而不再需要冷却。 Mag-driven pumps are slightly more expensive, but they have the added advantage of consuming less electricity.磁驱动泵略较昂贵，但它们的附加优势消耗电力少。

Pumps are sized by gallons per hour (GPH) output at one foot of lift or height.水泵是由大小加仑每小时（经验）的输出在一英尺电梯或台阶。 Manufacturers usually offer charts that break down the power of each size pump according to incremental heights of one foot.通常厂家提供的海图，打破权力的大小，每个泵根据增量高峰一只脚。 It is recommended that you circulate your body of water at least once every 2 hours.它是建议你，你散发的水体，至少每2个小时。 Therefore you will need to size your pump to ensure that it has half the GPH rating as the volume of your pond in gallons.因此，你需要你的大小泵，以确保它有一半的经验评级货量你池塘加仑。 For example, if you have a 1000 gallon water feature, you will require at least a 500 GPH pump.举例来说，如果你有一个1000加仑水的功能，您将需要至少500经验泵。

Calculating the proper pump for waterfalls is a bit trickier, because you must estimate your waterfall's height.计算正确泵瀑布，是有点麻烦，因为你必须估算您瀑布的高度。 To do so, you must measure the vertical height from the top of your pump to the top of your waterfall.这样做，你必须衡量垂直高度从顶部您泵顶你的瀑布。 In addition, you must add another foot of height or lift for every 10 feet of hosing you will be using (this will allow for loss of volume from resistance within the hose).此外，你必须加上另一脚的高度或解除每10英尺冲洗，你会使用（这将允许损失量从抵抗软管） 。 To calculate the required pump GPH, a general rule of thumb is that each inch of width of the channel will require an extra 100 GPH.计算所需水泵经验，一般经验法则是每英寸宽的通道，将需要额外的100经验。 For example, if your stream or waterfall spillway will be 10 inches wide, you will need a pump that produces an excess flow of 1000 GPH at your waterfall's height.举例来说，如果你或溪流瀑布溢洪道将10英寸宽，你会需要一个泵产生的过剩流动性1000经验在你的瀑布的高度。

If you plan on having fish, your water circulation demands will be drastically increased.如果你打算有鱼，你的循环水的需求将会大幅增加。 Fish rely on the oxygen in the water to survive, hence a proper pump for a fish pond must ensure that extra oxygen is both introduced into the pond, and distributed throughout the pond.鱼类依靠氧气在水中继续生存，因此适当泵为鱼池必须确保额外的氧气既引入池塘，并分发整个池塘。 The general rule of thumb is that you must double your pump GPH if you plan on raising fish.一般经验法则是，你要贵一倍泵经验，如果你打算种田养鱼。 An example of a pump that would be appropriate for fish is GardenSuperMarts UltraFlo line of pumps.例如泵，将适宜鱼类是gardensupermarts ultraflo线泵等。 These pumps have oxygen intake valves and an unique air/water air mix system which effectively increases the oxygen concentration in your pond.这些抽水机已摄取氧气阀门和一个独特的空气/水空气混合系统，有效地提高氧气浓度在你的池塘。

The advantage of GardenSuperMarts low-maintenance, magnetic-driven UltraFlo pump kits is that they contain a sealed unit with a large enclosure that prevents debris from clogging the water intake.优势gardensupermarts低保养，磁力驱动泵ultraflo袋，是他们含有一个密封装置用大型密封，防止杂物堵塞取水口。 The UltraFlo line of pumps starts at 200 GPH, and increase up to 660 GPH.该线ultraflo水泵始于200经验，并上升到了660经验。 All UltraFlo pump kits come complete with a telescopic riser and diverter and 3 fountain heads.所有ultraflo泵套来完成具有伸缩冒口和分流和3喷泉头。

If you require a more powerful pump, GardenSuperMart also has a SuperFlo line of pump kits that can provide up to 1585 GPH.如果你需要一个更强大的泵， gardensupermart也有superflo线泵套，可提供高达1585经验。 All SuperFlo kits come complete with a telescopic riser and diverter, 4 fountain heads, and a sponge pre-filter.所有superflo袋来完成具有伸缩冒口和分流， 4喷泉头，并预海绵状滤波器。 An optional SuperFlo Mechancial and Biological filter can also be added to the pump to provide additional water filtration for your fish.择superflo力学和生物滤池也可以添加到泵增设水过滤你的鱼。

Both the SuperFlo and the UltraFlo pumps can be purchased online at GardenSuperMarts store, www.buypond.com. In late May 2005, GardenSuperMart will also introduce a new line of MaxFlo waterfall pumps that can provide up to 2780 GPH of pumping power.既superflo和ultraflo泵可到网上商店gardensupermarts ， www.buypond.com 。五月下旬， 2005 gardensupermart还将推出一款新线maxflo瀑布水泵，可以提供高达2780经验的泵浦功率。 Please stay tuned for further news and details.请留调谐作进一步的消息和细节。
