Swell Filter Pumps

What are Swell Filter Pumps?

Swell Filter Pumps are designed to keep outdoor water features running smoothly without the fuss. Built from high‐quality materials and designed for durability and day‐to‐day reliability, they support a variety of setups, from small wildlife spaces to larger ornamental features.

These units are available in a range of sizes, offering water movements rates between 1500 and 17000 litres per hour. Each model has been engineered to allow small debris, up to 8mm in size, to pass through, helping to reduce waste build up around the unit. Included are a 10 metre cable and a multi size hose connection adaptor for quick and easy installation.

Whether you're directing water to your filtration system, feeding a waterfall, or encouraging better circulation, these units offer a flexible and straightforward solution. When paired with an external filter system they deliver dependable performance, maintaining clear, healthy water.

Key Features:

• Low‐maintenance and energy efficient design
• Output options from 1500 to 17000lph
• Debris handling capacity of 4-8mm
• Automatic thermal cut‐off to prevent damage
• Suitable for most garden setups
• Can drive waterfalls and other features
• Works alongside external filtration systems

What are solids handling pumps?

Solids handling units are built to cope with natural waste that is found in outdoor water features, such as silt, grit, and organic debris.

These models use a protective casing to stop large objects or wildlife from entering the unit. Only small particles of 8mm or less in size can pass through, helping to protect the internal components from wear.

Beacause they keep water moving even when debris levels rise, they aid in supporting a more stable environment for fish and plants. Routine upkeep is made simple: just remove the outer casing, rinse it in a bucket of pond water, and clear the impeller as required.

Can these units become blocked?

Blockages may occur if larger debris makes its way past the casing. To prevent damage, each model also features a safety cut‐off that switches off the unit until the obstruction is removed.

Choosing the right size

Selecting the right model for your needs depends on how far and high the water needs to travel. Water movement decreases with height and pipe length, so make sure to choose a model that still delivers the required flow at your installation height.

This applies whether the unit is powering a filter, waterfall, stream, or other feature. Ensuring the correct size will help the entire system to operate efficiently.
