Pond Pump Feature of the Week: Shinmaywa Pumps

As I discussed in my last post, pond pumps are an integral part of any backyard water garden. Whether you have fish or not, you need to have clean, healthy water in your pond. Last week I pointed out some of the key benefits of Pondmaster pumps, but this week we're going to move in to a different brand.

This particular brand of pond pumps has been on the market for quite some time. The company that creates them is responsible for developing and manufacturing all types of pond supplies, and it is recognized as a reputable and reliable distributor.

This week's pond pump feature of the week is ShinMaywa pumps.

ShinMaywa Pumps

ShinMaywa brand pond pumps are unique, because they are primarily used as waterfall pumps. This means that their main purpose is to power a waterfall within your backyard pond. Because they are powering waterfalls instead of simply filtering and aerating water, these pond pumps have a powerful discharge outlet.

Some of the key features of the ShinMaywa pumps include:

• Reliable and efficient functions
• Durable design
• Corrosion-resistant structure
• Continuous-duty motor
• Cast aluminum bearing housing
• Long life span
• Low operating cost

Depending on the model you choose, you may get only some of these features, or you may benefit from many others. If you want to create a beautiful and powerful waterfall in your backyard pond, ShinMaywa pumps are a great investment.
