Pond Pump



My waterfall and pond filter are powered by a OASE Aquamax SF 3000. The SF signifies the satellite pre-filter that allows a second intake into the pump for better circulation of the pond.

The pond pump was installed in the pond bottom so the entire pond is circulated, not just the top layers of the pond water that result from only using a submersible pump in a pond skimmer. As we rocked the pond bottom, the pond pump and second intake were disguised. Most people don't notice the pump unless they are looking for it.

The OASE Aquamax pumps are designed to move solids to the pond filter where they are removed. The pond pump is designed not to clog even with heavy sludge and leaves.

The best parts of the pond pump? A five-year warranty and it only uses 200 watts of energy. In Oklahoma, that's under $11.00 a month! No bad for a 18' x 19' water garden.
