We need you to describe your pond, length, width, depth... Your filters, type and size, and your present pumps. Also how many fish you have of what sizes. That way we have good information to start out with.
Hi back again my pond is 7ft-7ft5in-4ft deep the fountain part is 4ft1in-1ft3in-20in deep the filter i made on the Skippy filter idea i have 4 or 5 koi, 5(ish) gold fish,1 golden orf(think that's what it is) and some tiddlers that i didn't want to see some1 let die when they was draining there pond the pump was a hozelock super cascade 3000 its been playing up the past month stopping and starting(i now this probably was not enough to do the job) as i need to buy a new one i need to get one to do the job properly the pond was pritty clear now it's just green i'v still not finished it, but i've been building it all on my own anyway here's some pic's hope i've done this right.

I forgot to ask where you are, as different pumps are available in different parts of the world. If you are in Asia I would look into FOK pumps, as your setup looks like it would have minimal head. They are a very high volume-low head pump with minimal utility requirements. Others may have suggestions based on their own experiences as well.

Since you are in merry old England you have some of the best resources right in your own backyard. Maurice is one of the most respected breeders outside of Japan and he handles EA equipment. You can contact him for detailed advice right here. http://www.koi-uk.co.uk/ You might also want to check with Mike at YumeKoi, who carries very good Koi and Momotaro fish and supplies. http://www.yumekoi.com/index.php For your setup I might recommend looking at an Axial Flow pump. Low head, high volume, and very low utility cost to operate. There are a number of them mfg in the EU, so you shouldn't have any problem finding one that would fit your system well.
