Smaller particles down to 2mm in size can be eliminated by fitting the supplied clip-in fine mesh filter tray which affords the best possible protection for pond fish, preventing them from accessing the pump.<\/p>\n<p>The Aquaforce has a considerably increased cage surface area, which allows the maximum amount of waste to be collected and pumped to the filter system. It also means that the cage is far less likely to clog, which will save you from constant cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Most common Aquaforce set up:<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;Aquaforce&nbsp;pumps are particularly&nbsp;suitable for pumping water to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/product-category\/aquatics\/pond-filters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">external filters<\/a>&nbsp;or for use in&nbsp;high flow waterfalls or watercourse applications where low&nbsp;maintenance is important.<\/p>\n<p>For the best results, the pump&nbsp;should be positioned in the deepest&nbsp;part of the pond at least 200mm under&nbsp;the surface. This will ensure the best&nbsp;circulation of water in the pond and&nbsp;when being used as a filtration pump,&nbsp;its solids handling capability will be&nbsp;maximised.<\/p>\n<p>The larger models (6000, 8000, 12000 &amp; 15000) feature a second inlet and flow control. The second inlet allows the use of a skimmer or satellite filter and the flow control allows the adjustment of the flow of water to a waterfall or filter. It also allows the control of the amount of water being drawn from the second inlet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 forcontent element-contents element-columns\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"row multi-column one_column\">\n<section class=\"column_one col-xs-12 col-sm-12 first-column\">Extensive testing has been carried out to ensure the reliability of the pumps and a 3-year guarantee is offered for all models.<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 forcontent element-contents element-columns\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"row multi-column one_column\">\n<section class=\"column_one col-xs-12 col-sm-12 first-column\">The Aquaforce sets unprecedented performance and efficiency benchmarks in flow rates and head heights.<\/section>\n<section class=\"column_one col-xs-12 col-sm-12 first-column\">\n<div class=\"fluidbox-wrap\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fluidbox-wrap\"><a class=\"lightGallery fluidbox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3317\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1531px) 100vw, 1531px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-300x68.png 300x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-1024x231.png 1024x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-447x101.png 447x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-400x90.png 400x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-690x156.png 690x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data-31x7.png 31x, http:\/\/www.hozelock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Aquaforce-perf-data.png 1531x\" alt=\"Aquaforce-perf-data\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquaforce Pumps<\/p>\n<p>Please contact us for stock and pricing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2969,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[88],"product_tag":[90,89,85],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/2888"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2888"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=2888"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydonhamletwatergarden.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=2888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
