The beauty of a water fountain whether indoors or outdoors is because of it’s basic function of throwing water from a height through the cascade of the design.

This pump is best form a cascade type water fountain of about 20-inch height.

Here are some more facts about water fountain pumps that you must now so that you get the best deal for your money.

Pumps with a Wt label can be used both indoors and outdoors, however a pump with WA label can be used in indoors only. Many water fountain pumps have an ability to adjust the amount of water they throw out. Some water fountain pump specifications will have a GPH name it this means that “Gallons Per Hour” capacity of the pump. A normal cascading water fountain will require 50-100 gallons of water to function properly.

Many water fountain pumps come with a long cable with an AC adapter as the electricity source. Many have a switch to turn it on or off. Many pumps also have the arrangement to be connected to a solar panel so that they receive direct electricity from the solar panel, which converts sunlight into electricity. Water fountain, which have been designed, for outdoors will definitely have this arrangement to save electricity.

Water fountain pumps have one more specification called as “max Head”. This is a unit used to measure the height up to which the pump will throw water. So basically a pump with Max Head 3.0 will throw water up to 3 feet above the pump height. While buying a water fountain pump always have with you the exact dimensions of your fountain unit. It is better to buy a pump with more Max Head than the height of your fountain because at the top the water flow will somewhat reduce and will give you a poor quality flow in to the fountain. To maintain a strong flow of water into the fountain always use a Max Head value greater than the height of the fountain.

Thus selecting the right kind of water fountain pumps can be very easy if you know what you are looking for and do some basic research around.
