[soss]

i av already asked this question and i apologise if it's becoming annoying, perhaps i'm not posting it in the right place. Would any body be able to tell me the most economic pump that would suit running a stream into my pond please, any advice would be welcome.

Try watergarden.com or backyardgardener.com for advice..External water pumps are not cheap but that is what you need...

How big a stream? one of the big and relatively cheap submersible dirty water pumps would shift a lot of water. A little more modest would be the amphibious pumps by Blagdon. I have a 2mtr x 60cm "stream" running on gravel that the birds love to bath in, this runs a modest flow from filterbox to
stream with a blagdon pump

thanks for both your replies, the stream you have nightshade sounds just right as I want it to attract wildlife, birds in particular I don't plan on putting a deep stream almost just surface water. thanks again

there are a few things to think about,

depth the pump will be situated and then the hight the stream will start at

any filtration/uv units being added into the system?

the depth and width of the stream

do you want a small pour over or a wide pour back into the pool?

and of course ease of maintenance and ease of simple spares like pre-filter sponges etc
