where can you buy big pumps for a pond?

Question

I have a big pond and want a pump/filter/sprinkler all in one We plan on putting Koi in it so we want to keep the water moving and keep it clean

Answer 1

Most home improvement stores (Lowe's, Home Depot) have pumps but they are usually limited to less than 2000 GPH (gallons per hour) with an 18-24 lift. You do not mention the size of your pond or the height of your sprinkler, so if you need more than 2000 GPH 18-24 lift, you may want to visit a pond supply store. I do not recommend buying one over the Internet unless you have used the specific site before.

Regarding pond care, you need fish (you have them already), water plants, aeration (your pump), shade/sun in equal amounts, and perhaps beneficial bacteria to combat algae growth. Beneficial bacteria can be bought in tablet, powder, or liquid form and added directly to your pond.

I also have a biofilter; it sounds fancy, but it's just a big tub with foam blocks in it for extra filtering. It's just below my waterfall, buried in the waterfall mound.
