These features allow the pump being used for many purposes. We would like to give you some examples of use and same hints:

Stream pump / fountain pump/ filter pump:
To prevent the pond filter from overflowing when used with this powerful pond pump, we recommend the use of a Y-adapter. When used as a bypass, a stream can be additionally supplied or the power can be distributed to another UV pond clarifier or pond filter.

The flow rate of your pump must absolutely be adapted to the size of your pond filter, as too high a flow rate causes the filter to overflow. The circulation cycle of the pond and the remain time of the pond water inside the filter should be considered, too.

The optimum circulation cycle depends on several factors, e.g., the type of use of the pump, the number of fish inside the pond, the presence of aquatic plants, the solar irradiation, or the limpidity that you wish the water to have.

The following reference values apply:

Fish pond:
• 1 circulation in 3 hours
• 2 circulations in 1 hour (without plants and with large fish population)

Garden pond/plant pond:
A pond without fish population requires less circulation. In this case, one cycle can be taken as reference value in order to enrich the pond water with oxygen and to keep the water moving.

Swimming pond:
The circulation cycle for this type of pond strongly depends on the planting and the personal preferences.
A maximum of one circulation every 2–3 hours and a minimum of “no circulation” is given as a guideline.

Cleaning:
To guarantee a smooth operation, the pump needs to be cleaned on a regular basis.
The handle attached to the housing makes it easy to remove the pump from the pond. The special design of the housing – no screws – allows opening it without any tools.
