What size pump?

[Gerk]

Nearly finished my pond at last
It's 13 foot by 7 foot and probably a about 3 foot at it's deepest

I have built up a waterfall about 3 feet and have bought a 6000 L/P/H pump.

The idea is that the pump hose will connect to the filter which will be beside the waterfall and then a hose will run to the back of the waterfall

My question is

A - Will the pump be powerful enough
B - The hose will run from the filter to the top of the waterfall....Should I buy a diffuser or would the hose just spray the water onto the slab that will hang out over the pond?

Welcome to the forum !!
My hoses from the filters just lay on my water fall rocks. with rocks on top of them, too hold and hide them
