Pope garden hoses are suitable for hand watering and sprinkler use. All hoses in this range are UV treated to withstand Australian conditions and supplied Tap Ready with two hose connectors and a universal tap adaptor for 20mm (3/4") or 25mm (1") BSP garden taps.
The 12mm range includes Heritage, Legacy and Pinnacle. Heritage is a medium duty hose with a robust exterior for everyday use and 5/10 kink resistance. Legacy offers heavy duty construction with a tougher exterior and 7/10 kink resistance. Pinnacle combines premium heavy duty construction with flexible handling and a 10/10 kink resistance rating. All three have 12mm comfort grip Perma Fit connectors for a secure connection and easy attachment and removal.
The 18mm Legacy hoses offer higher water flow than the 12mm options, with heavy duty braided construction and 7/10 kink resistance. They are available in 15m, 20m and 40m lengths and come fitted with 18mm hose connectors. These connect to hand sprays, sprinklers and other accessories with an 18mm male click-on connection.
Garden hose tap adaptors connect threaded garden taps to hoses fitted with click-on hose connectors. The adaptor screws onto the tap and stays in place, allowing you to attach or remove the hose with a simple click-on connection.
They're useful for replacing an old adaptor or setting up a hose connection at another garden tap. This range includes plastic and brass options with 12mm or 18mm garden hose click-on connections.
Female BSP models screw onto matching male-threaded tap outlets. Universal models have a 25mm (1") female thread and a removable reducing adaptor for 20mm (3/4") taps. This allows the same adaptor to suit either tap size. The male BSP model screws into a matching female-threaded outlet or fitting.
Select the adaptor to match both your hose connector size and the tap thread.
Garden tap outlets let several hoses or watering lines share one tap. Manual controls allow you to leave the connections in place and direct water to the line you need.
Threaded outlets accept matching hose tap adaptors or other watering fittings. Snap-on outlets connect to matching hose-end connectors. Swivelling and angled designs provide room to position the attached fittings.
The range includes plastic and die-cast metal designs with two or four outlets. Separate outlet controls let you adjust or shut off each line; the Pope EZ Dial uses a selector to operate either outlet or both together.
Garden hose connectors fit onto the end of a hose and provide a female click-on connection for a tap adaptor, hand spray or sprinkler. Plastic and brass options suit 12mm or 18mm hose. The 18mm hose x 12mm click-on models allow a larger hose to connect to 12mm watering accessories. Hose size and click-on size describe different ends of the fitting.
Comfort grip connectors are easier to hold when connecting and disconnecting the hose. A stop-valve connector at the watering end automatically stops flow when the accessory is removed and allows it to resume when reconnected. The swivel connector fits between existing click-on fittings to reduce twisting as the hose moves.
Two-way couplers join fitted hoses end to end, while a three-way coupler branches one supply hose into two watering hoses. Their male click-on ends need matching female hose connectors. Repair joiners connect directly to two bare hose ends, either to join hose lengths or reconnect a hose after a damaged section has been removed.
The 12mm three-piece set contains a comfort grip hose connector, a comfort grip stop-valve connector and a universal tap adaptor. The 18mm set contains two hose connectors and an 18mm universal tap adaptor. Both tap adaptors fit 20mm (3/4") or 25mm (1") BSP garden taps.
Garden hose sprinklers water lawns and garden areas from a hose connection. Ground-level models sit close to the lawn, while a raised tripod carries the spray above bushes and other foliage.
Fixed spray designs water a circular area without a rotating head. Rotary-arm sprinklers distribute water as the arms turn, while an impact sprinkler can sweep through part of a circle or water all the way around.
Orbit mist cooling kits bring a fine cooling mist to patios, pergolas and outdoor entertaining areas. The 94830 main kit connects to a garden hose and provides 3.7m of misting line with six nozzles. The 94168 extension adds another 3m and five nozzles, while the 237mL nozzle cleaner removes mineral deposits during maintenance.
Both kits use preassembled 9.5mm, UV-resistant tubing and brass and stainless-steel nozzles. Mounting clips hold the line around the outdoor area, with extensions allowing the cooling perimeter to grow as the available water pressure and flow permit.
Use the misting kits with cold water outdoors, operating at 310–850kPa. Do not use a booster pump. Drain the system after use and clean the nozzles periodically to keep the mist outlets clear.

OASE BioPress kits combine a pond pump, pressure filter, UVC clarifier and connecting hose. Set 4000, 6000 and 10000 suit ponds up to 4,000L, 6,000L and 10,000L without fish, or half those capacities with fish. The matched components provide mechanical and biological filtration alongside treatment of green-water algae.
Filter foams trap suspended dirt and provide surfaces for biological filtration. The UVC clarifier treats green-water algae; its lamp output is a different figure from the electrical power drawn by the UVC unit. The cleaning handle in the lid compresses the filter foams, and the filter can be buried up to its lid.
The submerged pump sends water through the pressure filter before it returns to the pond or an elevated watercourse. The filter has a maximum operating pressure of 20kPa (0.2bar); this is a pressure limit, not a watercourse-height rating. The pump and UVC each have a separate mains plug, requiring two powered sockets. Start the pump before powering the UVC.
Two-year manufacturer warranty, subject to OASE warranty terms. Retain proof of purchase.

OASE AquaMax Eco Classic pumps carry pond water and debris to filters, waterfalls and watercourses. The 3500 E, 5500 and 8500 deliver maximum flows of 3,500L/h, 5,300L/h and 8,300L/h. A large strainer passes debris up to 8mm, and the supplied stepped hose adaptor accepts 25mm, 32mm or 38mm hose.
The pump moves debris to a separate filter rather than removing it from the pond water itself. Environmental Function Control responds to blockage and dry running. The mechanical hose connection uses a swivelling adaptor to help route the hose without a sharp bend.
Install submerged or externally with the pump below the source water level and a continuously flooded inlet. It does not prime a dry suction pipe or lift water into the inlet. The motor is not electronically speed-adjustable. Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits; actual delivery depends on lift and pipe losses.
Three-year manufacturer warranty. Register with OASE during the standard three-year warranty period, with proof of purchase, for two additional years (five years total), subject to OASE warranty terms. Register the OASE extended warranty.
PondMAX EVOII pumps circulate water through ponds, fountains and water features using threaded inlet and outlet connections. The eight models provide maximum flows from 1,800L/h to 13,600L/h. EV1900 to EV4900 include a large fountain attachment kit (No.40). EV7200, EV9200, EV11200 and EV13600 provide higher flows for pond circulation and water features.
A ceramic impeller shaft and water-lubricated bearings run without added oil or grease. Soft start increases rotor speed gradually. If the rotor stops, the electronic protection interrupts power and attempts a restart; a persistent blockage needs the pump switched off and cleared.
Install the pump fully submerged on a stable surface clear of bottom sludge, keeping water flowing through the motor for cooling. The intake cage opens without tools for access to the impeller. Select hose and fittings with enough capacity for the required flow.
Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits. Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
Maintain at least half the maximum flow through the pump for motor cooling.
Two-year manufacturer warranty for freshwater use, extended to three years by free registration with PondMAX within 30 days of purchase. Retain proof of purchase and registration. Marine use has a one-year warranty; consumable impeller parts are excluded. Register the extended warranty.
PondMAX PV pumps supply clean water to patio ponds, fountains, statues and other water features. Maximum flows run from 850L/h to 2,700L/h. PV650 includes a small fountain attachment kit (No.10), while PV1200, PV1600 and PV2800 include a medium fountain attachment kit (No.30).
The ceramic shaft and water-lubricated impeller need no added oil. A flow adjuster on the front cage reduces delivery, and the housing opens without tools for cleaning. An optional sponge pre-filter can catch debris before it reaches small fountain nozzles; the sponge is not included.
Use the pump submerged, or externally below the source water level with a continuously flooded inlet. It cannot draw water up into an empty inlet pipe. Keep water moving through the pump for cooling and use the recommended hose diameter to limit flow loss.
Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits. Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
Maintain at least half the maximum flow through the pump for motor cooling.
Two-year manufacturer warranty for freshwater use, extended to three years by free registration with PondMAX within 30 days of purchase. Retain proof of purchase and registration. Marine use has a one-year warranty; consumable impeller parts are excluded. Register the extended warranty.
PondMAX HP pumps provide submerged clean-water circulation for hydroponic systems, aquaponics, aquariums and small water features. HP550, HP850 and HP1100 offer maximum flows of 550L/h, 850L/h and 1,200L/h. A built-in flow adjuster lets you reduce water movement to suit the installation.
The motor and electrical components are sealed in epoxy resin for submerged operation. Water lubricates and cools the impeller assembly, so the pump needs no added oil. The front flow adjuster controls delivery.
Place the pump fully underwater on a stable surface clear of sludge and connect the outlet to the feature or circulation pipe. HP550, HP850 and HP1100 have recommended operating lifts of 0.6m, 1m and 1.3m respectively. These are operating-height recommendations, not guaranteed flow rates at those heights.
Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits. Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
Two-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required; consumable impeller parts are excluded.
PondMAX solar kits run a submerged DC pump directly from the included solar panel or panels. PS200, PS600, PS1700 and PS3500 provide maximum flows of 175L/h to 3,400L/h in full sunlight. The first three include a fountain kit; PS3500 includes two panels and hose for supplying a water feature.
Output depends on sunlight reaching the panel: cloud, shade and panel angle can reduce flow or stop the pump. Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits measured in full sunlight. Keep the pump submerged and the panels in direct sun.
PS600, PS1700 and PS3500 have low-water cut-out; PS200 does not. Optional battery equipment differs by model: PS600 uses backup battery unit 02PS015. PS1700 and PS3500 use battery box 02PS005 and a compatible battery, both purchased separately. Battery backup is optional and is not included in the pump kits.
Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
Maintain at least half the maximum flow through the pump for motor cooling.
Three-year manufacturer warranty, subject to Aquatec Equipment terms. Retain proof of purchase; consumable impeller parts are excluded.
The PondMAX PS600 battery-backup box stores solar energy to extend operation of a compatible PS600 solar water-feature pump. The small backup box includes a 12V, 7Ah lead-acid battery.
Runtime depends on battery charge, sunlight and pump load. This box is designed for the PS600 system.
The PondMAX PM2600 replacement fountain kit fits the fountain assembly on the PondMAX PM2600 all-in-one pond pump and filter system.
Use it to replace the fountain attachment on the matching system. This item is the fountain kit only; the pump, filter and UVC system are not included.
PondMAX PU pumps move freshwater pond water through external biological filters, waterfalls and watercourses. Maximum flows range from 3,600L/h on PU3500 to 17,000L/h on PU17000. The intake cage and open-vane impeller pass soft pond debris up to 6mm, helping carry it to a separate filter.
A ceramic shaft supports the open-vane impeller, and the cage opens without tools for maintenance. Soft start brings the rotor up to speed gradually. Anti-jam electronics interrupt a stalled rotor and attempt restarts; if the obstruction remains, switch off the pump and clear it before restarting.
Install the pump fully submerged on a raised, stable surface clear of bottom sludge. Choose pipework with enough capacity for the required flow and allow for lift, bends and friction losses.
Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits. Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
PU3500 to PU12500: maintain at least half the maximum flow through the pump for motor cooling.
Three-year manufacturer warranty, subject to Aquatec Equipment terms. Retain proof of purchase; consumable impeller parts are excluded.
PondMAX PX pumps supply the high water volumes needed by large waterfalls, pond filters and water features. PX26000 delivers up to 26,000L/h and PX32000 up to 28,000L/h, with separate maximum heads of 9.5m and 11m. Both have 50mm inlet and outlet connections.
The intake cage screens larger debris while allowing particles up to 6mm to pass. Thermal overload protection helps protect the motor against overheating. Supplied hose adaptors accept 32mm, 38mm or 50mm hose; the 50mm pipework option limits restriction at higher flows.
The pumps can be submerged or installed externally with a flooded inlet. In an external arrangement, water must reach the inlet by gravity from a source above the pump. This is not self-priming suction-lift operation.
Maximum flow and maximum head are separate limits. Lift and resistance in hoses, bends and fittings reduce the flow delivered at the outlet.
