How to choose the right pump

No watercourse without a watercourse pump

Since the artificial Stream is a never ending cycle, the water of which flows from the source to the destination point and from there is transported back again, the indispensable watercourse pump is the actual one Source. There are different models to choose from, which you can select depending on the size, water flow and requirements:

• Submersible pumps: can be placed in the collecting basin or pond are protected from frost in winter when the water depth is sufficient. Disadvantage: are not suitable or only to a limited extent for fish ponds.
• Stream pump with filter: Particularly suitable for streams with integrated fish ponds. Guarantee consistently high water quality.
• Stream pump without filter: if there are no fish swimming or swimming in the pond. no pond is available
• Solar-powered watercourse pump: saves electricity

The pump is always installed at the lowest point at the end of the stream, because its job is to pump the water back to the source. Submerge the pump either in the pond or in a well below the surface of the water. The water itself flows back through a hose that is dug in the side of the stream. Never bring the return hose directly under the Stream bed on: Should this ever need to be repaired, the entire stream can otherwise be dug up.

Design the Bachquelle in an appealing way

Although the stream is fed from the return hose, it can still be designed in a visually appealing way - in such a way that said hose is not noticeable. To do this, you can, for example, put its end in a source stone, a source bowl, or the like. ä. integrate, from which the water then gushes. Incidentally, it is very easy to make such a source stone yourself: all you need is a boulder in the desired shape and size, through which you can use a suitable tool to make a hole of a size suitable for the hose diameter drill.
