This pump is the big news of the new season. Those clever engineers at PondXpert have managed to create a pump with a healthy 8000lph flow at a power consumption of just 50 watts (typical power expected would be 120w). This means you can run this pump 24/7 all year long without having to worry about the electricity bill! As well as its environmental and economic benefits the pump will run 24/7 with little maintenance required as it can handle solid particles up to 8mm in size. If your pond water was to run shallow for any reason then the pump switches itself off via a sensor to prevent damage to the unit.A long 3 year guarantee completes the \"peace of mind\" provided by this pump. *Saving based on annual electricity costs against running a number of similar higher wattage pumps currently in our inventory based on running 24/7 for 365 days per year. Electricity prices vary - please check with your power supplier.
