A submersible fountain pump transforms a simple garden pond into an attractive water feature. Lowering a submersible garden water feature pump into a pond creates a gentle vertical spray. The same submersible waterfall pump can push water through a hose to the top of a rock formation. A submersible pond circulation pump keeps water moving continuously for visual effect. One compact submersible water feature pump uses only 35 watts of electricity while running all day. A quiet submersible garden pump produces less than 40 decibels of noise during operation.
Selecting a submersible fountain and irrigation pump requires matching the pump capacity to the desired effect. A low-head submersible garden pump rated for 1.5 meters creates a bubbling fountain suitable for small ponds. A high-head submersible water pump rated for 4 meters sends water high enough for a dramatic centerpiece. Installing a submersible garden waterfall pump involves placing the device on a flat brick or stone. The brick prevents a submersible clean water fountain pump from sinking into soft pond sediment. Cleaning the intake screen of a submersible pond water pump every two weeks maintains optimal flow.
For garden drainage of clean water, a submersible utility pump without float switch removes unwanted standing pools. After filling a children's pool or washing a patio, a submersible clean water drainage pump evacuates the remaining water. Placing a submersible garden sump pump on a flat surface near the deepest point ensures maximum water removal. Connecting a submersible water transfer pump to a flat lay-flat hose speeds up drainage tasks. Unplugging the submersible garden drainage device as soon as water stops flowing prevents dry running.
Combining irrigation and water feature functions saves space and money. A single submersible garden multipurpose pump can serve both a small fountain and a drip irrigation system. Switching a submersible water feature pump from fountain mode to irrigation mode requires redirecting the discharge hose. During the morning, a submersible garden irrigation pump waters vegetable beds for 20 minutes. During the afternoon, the same submersible landscape water pump runs a small bubbler fountain for visual enjoyment. A submersible clean water utility pump handles both tasks without modification.
Extending the life of a submersible garden water pump involves three simple habits. Always rinse a submersible fountain pump with fresh water after draining a swimming pool. Never drop a submersible garden drainage pump onto hard ground, as impacts crack the volute. Store a submersible irrigation pump in a bucket of clean water if the pump will be used weekly. Storing a submersible garden water feature pump dry for months causes the rubber seal to harden. Replacing seals on a submersible clean water pump every two years maintains leak-free operation. A well-maintained submersible garden pump for fountains and drainage lasts over eight years.
