Backyard Pond pumps do one thing: They move the water in your pond
from where it is to somewhere else. Most of the time they pump it up and
over a waterfall. Other times they pump water through a spitter, an
ornament in or next to your pond, often a frog, dolphin, fish or piece
of statuary. Sometimes they pump water up in the air like you see in
huge commercial ponds near the mall or on the farm.
