Would this pump be too powerful for a 1000 gallon pond with a 2 feet high waterfall?

I think just fine. My pond, and pump at bottom of pond has a 10' rise up a winding creek bed to a waterfall. Works great. Thanks for asking.

I would think it would be large enough. I have a 300 gallon pond and it gives out plenty of air.

My pump in in the 2000 gph range, with the waterfall 3 or so feet above the pump (which worked quite well) - however, my pond is over 600 gallons. Not sure how well a pump that size will work with a smaller pond as the amount of water in the "plumbing flow" may be significant compared to the pond (depending on how yours is set up). I had a smaller (<100 gallon) water feature where I had to add water once the pump starts (to replace the volume of water in the waterfall and running down the rocks) and once the pump stops, the water then overflows the pond. As long as the water flow was constant, once filled, it ran great.

This unit is 120v and designed for a pond, not an aquarium. My opinion it is way too powerful for an aquarium as it is built to clear 2000 gal or larger ponds.

Used this pump all summer on a hydrophonic system with a 40 gal tank. One large air stone and worked well for this type application. If you need a lot of water movement then this unit may not produce enough air.

I have 2 of these, I use them for 2 waterfalls in my pond at about 4 feet high. They have worked for several months without a problem. The pump is not very big, I do not have an exact number but a relaxing trickle.

Thanks; it's going into a small tabletop waterfall and the space for the pump is limited. This will work. Thanks!mc

I have a 380 gal pond and use the 1000 fishmates filter and a 1000 gph pump. The pump is a bit overkill but the filter is fine. You should have no problem with the combo you are asking about. I would not go bigger than the 800gph pump though.

This would be large enough providing you us a large input pump. I am using it on a 100gallon myself with a 1200 mag drive pump.

According to the diagram on the box, the manufacturer suggests a 250w unit for a pond up to 1,000 gallons. Anything over 1,000 gallons they suggest 750w.

The flow is not adjustable. The size of pump depends on the lifting requirement for your pond flow.

I have a 700 gal oval Pond, 33 inches deep, no waterfall, not sure if type I have would be enough. Love the one I have , keeps water crystal clear, if treated correctly I would look into filter depending on depth, and gallons you stated

I believe so. I am going to get another for my pond. Currently it is running some eight pumps and three airstone devices in my tanks and I've had to put valves on my two ten-gallon tanks to keep it from blowing the water out of the tank. Great blast - I just had to learn to control it. With a pond your size I see no problem.

This is not a high pressure pump. I run 3 impact sprinklers off of each of my two Wayne 100 pumps. Their performance changes if I run them very far uphill . This is a good pump to move a lot of water , (volume) but not at high pressure. You can find out more info at the Wayne website. They rate it up to 70 psi at less than 10 feet of head. you will want to get familiar with the "head" rating for pumps to help you select a pump for your needs.

@ 3 - 4 feet under warter and 2 - 4 feet above for a waterfall. It is the best pump I have used.

Not sure about a waterfall. However, I was surprised at how powerful it is for such a small unit. I have it in a rock garden pond and am very happy with the results.

No, the lift to your waterfall will slow this pump down. It will not be too large for your pond or waterfall.
