Pond pump too powerful?

[Craigcook32]

Hi folks I'm new to garden ponds I have a plastic base pond 180cmx150cmx by 50cm deep. I have just purchased a second hand pump and filter its a hozelock titan 2000 .
I'm not too sure if this is too powerful for my pond or not as there seems to be a lot of water flowing back out the hose and into the pond creating a lot of movement with plants and looks like fish cant seem to stay still ethier kind of moving about like in a current ? Is anyone familiar with this pump and able to tell me if its too big a pump or is there a way I can turn the water speed down a bit it looks very odd in my pond also as its pretty big base that holds the pump inside ... Thanks craig

Hello and welcome!

So, is your pond about 200 US gallons? And is the pump 2000 LPH or 2000 GPH? (Sorry, but I get confused trying to convert.) If it’s GPH, then it might be too much. But, I’m not a pump/filter expert so will wait for someone else to chime in. All I know to tell you is that you want the total water volume to turn over about 1.5 times per hour.
