How to stop frogs being sucked into the pump in the pond?
We have a draper pond pump and around this time of year frogs are constantly being sucked into it and obviously dying. We've tried wrapping it in firm mesh but no luck. Any other solutions?
Chicken wire is what we've already tried.
I will suggest the colander and aluminium screening ideas to my dad (he's the pond-sorter-outer, I'm the pro-frog-activist / messenger!) - thanks guys!
we put our pump in a very large bucket and put hardware cloth over it with holes cut for the tubing and power cord.... saved on cleaning the intake of the pump, too!....make sure the pump INTAKE is well clear of the side or bottom of the bucket.....might need to hold it up off the bottom with a stone or brick....we used a plastic coated hardware cloth and forced it into the bucket, too....punched a couple holes in the rim of the bucket and used copper wire to tie the cloth in a couple spots for security....
Some Functions Of A Garden Pond Pump
A man made garden pond usually needs a garden pond pump in order for it to maintain its cleanliness and the health of the inhabitants of the pond. This kind of pump is usually used in tandem with a filtration system that helps to prevent the accumulation of dirt, bacteria and sediment in the pond. The filtration system helps to keep the right ph balance of the water in the pond for a healthy environment.
A garden pond pump can also have other uses other than that connected to a filtration system. In spite of the filtration system being of utmost importance for a garden pond pump, the other uses also help to improve the state of the garden pond and that of its animal inhabitants.
Water Structures and Formations
A garden pond pump can be used to form waterfalls, fountains and other water formations that may occur to the home owner and the garden architect. The use of the garden pond pump is climactic in whatever sort of pond is in the home. This pump can make waterfalls and fountains as well as help with the filtration system.
Not only can the garden pond pump help with the filtration and water formations but this also helps with the oxygenation of the water. Oxygenating the water in the garden pond is essential for the survival of the fish and animal life in it. Fish need air to breathe from the water and having a garden pond pump is very helpful.
The movement made by the pump in a preformed garden pond can help to prevent the stagnation of the water in the pond as well as keep the water clear. Other uses of a garden pond pump are to make sure that the water circulates the pond well and bring water to certain areas of the pond which makes for good irrigation for the plants.
Differences
There are some differences in the garden pond pump to be used for the filtration system and the water formation system. The slight differences are in the way that the water is sucked and processed by the garden pond pump. Although, there are some differences, some manufacturers have integrated one pump with a lot of functions to offset the purchase of more pumps. Choose the kind of pond pump wisely to avoid repetitive buying. This will help you save money and effort into making you pond a success.
