I like the Laguna pumps. Use less power consumption and are good quality.
Bought mine at https://webbsonline.com/Category/Laguna-Water-Pumps-Category

You can check out the different ones and see what they recommend for your size pond.

I'm not one to be able to explain this and I'm sure someone else can do a great job telling you but for now you can check out this guide I found online: https://pondinformer.com/pond-pump-size-guide/ till someone comes around w/more info to help you. Hope this helps.
