They set unprecedented performance and efficiency benchmarks in delivering significant improvements in flow rates and head heights while consuming less power than conventional systems.
At the same time, Hozelock is upgrading its range of Ecoclear Easy Clean Pond Filter Systems which will now team Aquaforce pumps with Bioforce biological filters. In a striking new ‘power case’ with an exclusive Wildlife Protection System and models to suit all pond sizes up to 30,000 litres, the new Aquaforce solids handling filter pumps come with a waterfall option to make them multi-tasking pond workhorses.
Thanks to a unique conical impeller design and a self cooling system which ensures continuously perfect operating conditions, the Aquaforce pumps set new performance benchmarks with flow rate at one metre head up to 11% greater than the Titan models which they replace. When optionally creating a waterfall, head height is up to 22% greater. These class leading pumps are the most efficient on the market and a remarkable 71% more efficient than the Titans.
Thrust washers protect the rotor from damage while ceramic bearings maximise pump life: hence the Aquaforce comes with a three-year guarantee. Versatile and controllable, the Aquaforce can be used flat or on its side and the case has an integral carrying handle which makes it easy to lift into or out of the pond. An amphibious capability gives the option to operate the pump on dry land while the cage remains submerged.
A second inlet allows the use of a skimmer or satellite filter. If a skimmer is used to pump surface débris to the filter, the flow control will adjust the balance of water taken from the main cage and the skimmer. Alternatively, a second filter can be attached and sited in a ‘dead’ area of the pond if there is one, or in an adjacent smaller pond. Four of the models (Aquaforce 6000, 8000, 12000 and 15000) also have a variable flow adjuster.
Priced from £69.99 (inc VAT) for the 1000LPH Aquaforce 1000 to £199.99 for the top-of-the-range 15000LPH Aquaforce 15000, these ultra-efficient new Hozelock Cyprio filter pumps are available now from most good aquatic centres.
