New Arrivals: 19mm Flow Control Valve for Ponds and Water Features

We've added a new pipework fitting to our range this month: a 19mm flow control valve designed to help pond keepers fine-tune water flow across pond pumps, pond filters, waterfalls and fountains. If you've ever found a waterfall too fast, a fountain jet too weak, or needed to balance flow between two outlets on the same pump, a valve like this gives you a simple way to adjust output without buying a different pump or fitting a bypass. It's a small, low-cost addition, but a useful one to have on hand when setting up or adjusting a pond system. Below is the new product, with its key details and a link through to the full listing.

19mm Flow Control Valve, Hose Connection for Pond/Waterfall/Fountain/Pump/Hydroponics

This valve is designed for 19mm internal diameter hose, including corrugated pond hose, and allows you to adjust flow up or down to suit your setup — useful for reducing output to a waterfall or feature, or balancing flow when running multiple outlets from one pump. It's part of our pipework and fittings range and is also suitable for irrigation systems needing controlled water distribution. Before adjusting flow, it's worth checking your pump is correctly matched to your pond size and feature using our pond pump size calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size hose does this flow control valve fit?

It's designed for 19mm internal diameter hose, including corrugated pond hose, so check your existing hose or pipework matches this size before ordering.

Can I use this valve to slow down my waterfall or fountain?

Yes, the valve is adjustable and can be used to reduce flow to a waterfall or fountain, or to balance output when running multiple features from one pump.

Will this valve reduce the total output of my pump?

Restricting flow at the valve reduces the water reaching that outlet, but it doesn't change what the pump itself is rated to produce. If you need less flow overall, it's worth checking your pump is correctly sized for your pond and feature using a pond pump size calculator.

Is this valve suitable for anything other than ponds?

Yes, alongside pond pumps, filters, waterfalls and fountains, it's also suitable for irrigation systems where controlled water distribution is needed.
