Fountain Pumps

Find a fountain pump for a water feature, bubbler or pond display. Select by the flow and head required at the fountain outlet, together with the space available in the basin. Some models combine a pump with fountain attachments or filtration; check each product's included components before ordering.

Size a water fountain pump for the display

A tall nozzle display and a gently flowing decorative fountain can require very different pumps. Use the fountain or nozzle manufacturer's flow and pressure requirements, then allow for lift and pipe losses. Maximum head is a pump's shutoff height, not a height at which it still delivers useful flow.

Check intake clearance, operating water depth, outlet fittings and access for cleaning. A small fountain pump must fit the reservoir as well as supply the required flow. Confirm whether flow adjustment is built in or requires a model-specific controller.

For larger recirculating features, compare pond pumps and waterfall pumps. Find compatible pump replacement parts when servicing an existing installation.

Common questions

Will any fountain pump work with my nozzle?

No. Match the nozzle's required flow and pressure to the pump's performance curve. Also check the connection size and the required installation depth.

Does a fountain pump include a filter?

Some fountain systems include filtration, while many pumps are sold without it. Read the selected product's component list; an intake screen alone is not a complete pond filter.
