What are the benefits of solids handling pumps?

A solids handling pump will be able to move solid particles such as sludge, leaves and grit. It will pump out any waste or matter using the pump cage and prevent any large items such as fish from being sucked in. They keep the pond and fish healthy and bring a consistent flow of water to the filter.

Can pumps block?

The Swell Filter Pump Deluxe will allow up to 8 mm particles to pass through the pump cage. If larger pieces of debris or sludge pass through, it will cause a blockage and the pumps thermal cut-off switch will disable the pump to prevent lasting damage.

What size pump do I need for my pond?

Selecting the right size pond pump can be a little tricky. Pump flow rates drop when you attempt to pump higher and further than the pond, so you need to consider these effects. You should aim to purchase a pump that meets the maximum flow rate of your filter at its height above pond level.
