Energy Efficient Pond Filter Pumps & Solids Handling Pumps In The UK
All pond systems in order to remain clean, algae free and oxygen rich need the pond water to be circulated around at least once every two hours. However, the faster the better to increase the levels of oxygen present, which is beneficial to your koi, goldfish and other pond fish as well as the beneficial bacteria responsible for breaking down toxic ammonia and nitrites.
Pond filter pumps are designed to take in dirty pond water and push it through a pond filter (biofilter). Filter pumps have large holes in their outer casing and no internal foam filter. This allows them to handle large liquid and solid particles, without blocking or clogging. The ability to pump large particles makes them the lowest maintenance pond pump available. When choosing recirculating water pumps for garden ponds reliability is a critical factor, as is power consumption and performance.
Hozelock
Titan Solids Handling Filter Pump
Hozelock Titan energy efficient waterfall & solids handling pumps use the electric motor from the famous Hozelock Cascade fountain pump, which gives great performance and incurs very low running costs. Titan pond filter pumps are designed for continuous operation, with minimal cleaning & maintenance. The ridged shape & design of the Titan solids handling waterfall filter pump reduces blockages, caused by leaves, grass and other large solids.
The pump has a unique wildlife protection system (WPS) that will allow you adjust the size of the holes in the cage, so that you don't trap or injure baby goldfish, koi or tadpoles living in your pond. Comfortably handles solid particles up to 10mm, without damaging the pump's impellor or restricting pump flow.
With modern pressurized filters becoming more and more popular you need a filter pump that can overcome the restrictions to flow caused by these pressurized filters. The Titan range works perfectly well with most manufacturers models, particularly Hozelock BioForce pressurized filters
