Dirty water pumps or filter pumps are pond pumps that are designed to move dirty, sludgy water to a filtration system.
Solids Handling Pumps do not clean the water, they only move it. They must work in conjunction with a filter. Alternatively, they can be used as a waterfall pump that will not block up often like a fountain pump will.
We only sell quality pond filter pumps such as OASE Aquamax, Aquascape and Pondmax. These pond pumps all have warranties of between 3 and 5 years.
Don’t buy your fish a cheap and nasty filter pump that will burn out within a year!
The reduced power bill will save you money within a year in most cases around $2+ per watt per year!
These filter pumps push dirty water through a fish pond filter and/or up to a waterfall. So when we are selecting the right dirty water pump for your pond or water feature, we will need to take several factors into consideration. Such as the size of the pond, the height of any waterfall, and the type of filter you are using. As well as the desired effect and the type and quantity of fish you wish to keep.
With this information, we can suggest a few options for you to suit your requirements and budget. We have included all of the technical data for each pump, but if you are unsure about the equipment that needs to go into your pond or need any further information, then please call us or drop us an email and we will be more than happy to assist you.
We want you to get the right dirty water pump for your needs so that you can enjoy your pond and not spend more than you need to.
