Garden Pond build

    Im in the process of planning and building a small pond, stream and waterfall.

    I have the pond plotted out on the ground and its 15ft long by 9ft wide approx.

    I was thinking of using an old cast iron water pump, which i have, as part of a feature for my pond, the pond is at the bottom of a slight slope so my plan was to place the water pump a few feet higher than the pond and pump water up to it and up its centre and have it flowing out and down into a wee pool from which a small stream will run back to the pond !

    How does this sound ? I am thinking of using the following set to use as my pump
    http://www.blagdonwatergardens.co.uk/Oase_Solar_Set_

    The solar pump says its max. head height is 3m, does this mean that the distance from the bottom of the pond to the top of the water pump must be less than 3m in order to achieve any flow !?

    Any advice on pond building\pumps welcome !?
