Davey pumps are fantastic and Little Giant pumps are fantastic. I have Davey pumps in the ground for 5 years now and Little Giant pumps in the ground now for 15 years, continuous running with no failures. The two brands you want to stay away from are Hilti and Beckett.

my son uses Beckett and a UV sterilizer in his 7000 gal pond.... without clogging is the problem with any pump... but his wife got inventive and came up with a bucket with holes and 'sock' of filter material and netting that kept theirs running happily for extra long times.....a pond requires maintenance....you can't slide on it... gonna have to change your mind about that part.....

I recommend grunfos or sunpumps.

The pumps on our site are probably a little large for your application, but if you give us a call we are glad to quote you on a pump and corresponding panel to power it. (877-337-2490)
This one wont run a waterfall but it is a cheap and simple kit:

Hope that helps

When you calculate the size pump you need, you will have to take into account the height of your waterfall, or "loft". The higher the waterfall the bigger the pump you will need as the loft slows down the amount of water that is pumped. for a pond the size of the one you have a mag drive is probably not big enough, I would suggest a direct drive.

External pumps really aren't that loud as long as you do some simple maintenance on them every now and then, in other words don't wait for it break down, keep it maintained so it won't break down. But, don't attach the pump to the bottom drain. Let gravity drain the pond, otherwise you'll suck a lot of the muck into the pump system and filter. I would go with the out-of-pond pump, you can hide it very easily behind some sort of facade. And it's just easier to maintain. Once you have your cool little ecosystem in there when everything is balanced you don't want to have to reach into the water and cloud everything up by pulling out the pump. It's always good to have some muck at the bottom of the pond, it's where all the bacteria live and eat up all the waste from everything living in the pond. It's a fun thing to have. Also, one more word of advice. Don't make the ENTIRE pond three feet deep. Make it so that the levels are varied. But, make the deepest part 3 feet deep. The creatures you decide to put in their new home will thank you for it.
