Last year we started to help a neighbor with a pond issue. A bit of plumbing. That was done, but now their sump pump 1/4 horse power is dying.
These are some pictures of the pond.
lower pond it is around 2x what you can see in size.
About a 5 foot rise to the upper pond
Per a email from them:
per measurement by someone that cleaned the pond when they bought the house.
518 square foot estimated measurement
If you factor an average pond depth of 2 feet 6 inches, the cubic footage is 1300 cubic feet (9,725 gallons).
They want me to help them replace the sump pump. I have only worked with external pumps, so asking for help to pick out a energy efficient pump for their ponds. Minimal fish load, mainly water and plants.
The pump is in the skimmer.
Thanks in advance
