What is a submersible / dirty water pump?
A submersible pump is a type of water pump that is submerged in water to move water. It is often used to drain water from a pond or basement. A submersible pump has a waterproof housing and an electric motor that draws in water and discharges it through a hose or pipe. They come in different sizes and capacities, depending on the amount of water to be moved and the depth at which the pump will be used.
What do you use a submersible pump for?
A submersible pond pump is used for a variety of purposes. The pump can be used to circulate the water in the pond to keep the water moving to prevent algae growth and bacteria formation limit. Also, the pond pump be used to pump pond water to a filter for the purpose of filtering pond water. I know from years of experience that these types of environmentally damaging agents are OVERBODY to the pond and the pond fish and other pond animals in it healthy and keep the pond clear. The pond is kept clear by the pond decorating and planting and planting according to my pond planting plan with sufficient aquatic plants. I DO recommend a submersible pump to empty the pond when you want to redesign it.
Pump systems replaced with aquatic plants
Environmentally harmful pumping systems and filters are not necessary to keep pond water clear and healthy. Instead, choose a variety of aquatic plants to keep pond water clear and clean. - Simon

How does a submersible pump work?
A submersible pond pump works by means of an electric motor in a waterproof housing that is submerged in water. It draws water in through an inlet and then pumps it out through an outlet, depending on the model it can be used for different applications. It is important to properly maintain the submersible pump for optimal operation.
Frequently asked questions about submersible pumps
How deep a submersible pump is allowed in the pond depends on the specific model and manufacturer. In general, however, a submersible pump should be placed at least to about 30 cm below the water line to prevent the pump from running dry and being damaged.
In most cases, a garden hose can be connected to a submersible pump so that water can be easily moved to another location.

Simon's vision is to let nature do its work in your pond. No need to buy all kinds of measuring equipment and water improvers. If the fish are swimming nicely and the plants are growing well, then the water in the pond is of good quality. With a good planting plan and the right approach, you can save a lot of money and maintenance, and ensure a clear, biologically balanced pond that becomes more beautiful every year.
