Pump Head Pressure
For waterfalls and streams, you will want to consider the amount of pump head pressure (generally referred to on pump flow charts as "Head") that your system will have, in order to help you determine the correct pump size.

Pump Flow Rate
You will want to size your pump to provide the water depth you're planning for your waterfall spillway and/or stream. Use this calculator to help you estimate the pump's flow rate (GPH) to achieve your desired flow..

Pump Cost/Usage
The cost of running a pump depends on how may watts it uses, since electricity is measured in terms of kilowatt hours. As a general rule, the larger the pump the more watts it uses - but pumps with the same GPH can differ quite a bit in their watts rating.

Pond pumps should run 24 hours a day to maintain your pond's ecosystem. To estimate what running your pump will cost each day, simply plug your pump's watt rating and your cost of a kw/hr into the calculator on the right.

Please enter all values in whole numbers or in decimal format. For example, use .09 for 9 cents!
