Pumps vary in shape and size, with most having extra extension to power a waterfall and have a sprinkling water attraction in the middle of a pond.

Just a question if no one minds. Are utility sump pumps ok to use in a pond? I've been told that some are cooled with oil in them, and they can leak, wouldn't oil from a pump harm fish or plants?

It is not a good idea to have a pump with oil in it, in your pond, if it does leak it could hurt things. imo I use external pumps.
