How To Choose A Fish Pond Air Pump

Your pond fish need to breathe. Submersible pond water pumps are essential to provide oxygen for garden fish ponds & bio filters. Why does my garden fish pond need a water pump anyway? The water pumped around the garden fish pond circuit supplies fish and pond filter bacteria with life-giving oxygen. If the water pump stops for any length of time (certainly more than 4 hours) the bacteria within your fish pond's biofilter which are there to purify the pond water die. The result is the pond filter stops working and undesirable levels of ammonia and nitrites build up in the pond water. These impurities become highly toxic to pond fish and especially koi at even low concentrations.
