The PondMAX PU12500 is for moving freshwater pond water to external biological filters, waterfalls and watercourses. Its maximum flow is 12,500L/h and its separate maximum head is 8.1m. The cage and open-vane impeller pass soft pond debris up to 6mm 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.
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.
