Solids handling pumps for filtration, waterfalls and watercourses
Key Benefits Include:
- Wildlife Protection System (WPS) – A fine, removable grill that prevents small fish and pond wildlife from accessing the pump.
- Large cage surface area reduces cage clogging & improves water purity
How does Aquaforce work?
Pond water is drawn in through the cage grill which filters out coarse solids up to 6mm/10mm in size (dependent on model). Smaller particles down to 2mm in size can be eliminated by fitting the supplied clip-in fine mesh filter tray which affords the best possible protection for pond fish, preventing them from accessing the pump.
The Aquaforce has a considerably increased cage surface area, which allows the maximum amount of waste to be collected and pumped to the filter system. It also means that the cage is far less likely to clog, which will save you from constant cleaning.
Most common Aquaforce set up:
The Aquaforce pumps are particularly suitable for pumping water to external filters or for use in high flow waterfalls or watercourse applications where low maintenance is important.
For the best results, the pump should be positioned in the deepest part of the pond at least 200mm under the surface. This will ensure the best circulation of water in the pond and when being used as a filtration pump, its solids handling capability will be maximised.
The larger models (6000, 8000, 12000 & 15000) feature a second inlet and flow control. The second inlet allows the use of a skimmer or satellite filter and the flow control allows the adjustment of the flow of water to a waterfall or filter. It also allows the control of the amount of water being drawn from the second inlet.
Extensive testing has been carried out to ensure the reliability of the pumps and a 3-year guarantee is offered for all models.
The Aquaforce sets unprecedented performance and efficiency benchmarks in flow rates and head heights.
