Waterfall Pumps


Waterfall Pump Sizing And Water Volume
The volume of water pouring down your waterfall spillway is very important. A big flowing falls looks fantastic, but if you use too much water it can get noisy and take far too much power to run. Use the waterfall weir chart below to predetermine how wide to make your waterfalls, and what size of waterfall pumps you need.

For example, If you have a waterfall that is 2 Ft. wide and you want the water to be 1/4" thick the chart calls for a fall pump that can produce 780 Gallons Per Hour.
