The
Differences in Energy-Efficient Pond Pumps
It can
be difficult to decipher the differences between
various models of pond pumps.
They all claim to
be the most efficient of course. But are these
differences enough to make one brand
substantially better than another brand of pond
pump? That too can be difficult to decide. The
best way to make this decision is to conduct
side-by-side comparisons of several different
brands of pond pumps. Compare the features from
one brand versus others. Does one have more than
another? Or do they have the same number of
features but a higher rating stated than the
other brands you’re comparing together?
The manufacturers of pond pumps all say that it
really boils down to the amount of energy
consumption required and the amount of power
produced per gallon of water contained in a
pond. Brands and models of pond pumps that use a
lesser amount of energy to produce a greater
amount of power per gallon of water are the most
energy-efficient.
The amount of energy that a particular model of
pond pump requires its power can be found in the
listing of features under wattage, or amps. This
will tell you the kilowatts per hour that will
be consumed for the proper operating of the pond
pump. Clearly those that use a lower percentage
of kilowatts would be the more energy-efficient
models of pond pumps.
The size of your pond is a factor in the size of
pond pump you will need to properly circulate
the water in your pond. Larger ponds will of
course require larger pond pumps and a greater
use of energy in order to properly circulate the
water in the pond. There are a number of the
larger models of pond pumps that have proven
that they can be just as efficient at saving
energy as their smaller, energy-efficient
cousins.
The internet is by far the easiest way to do
side-by-side comparisons of different brands and
models of energy-efficient pond pumps. You can
place several images on your screen to really
get a good look at what each offers. Consumer
report and product review magazines are also
good for comparing several models and brands of
energy-efficient pond pumps.
Some people balk at the higher costs of
energy-efficient models of pond pumps. But over
the long-term, these energy-efficient pond pumps
more than pay for themselves in the amount of
money saved from out-of-control, rising utility
costs.
