AquaSurge Water Garden Submersible
Pumps
The heart
of the ecosystem. The pump circulates the water from the skimmer
putting it through the filter mats and sending it over to the
bottom of BIOFALLS where it passes up through another set of filter
mats and media. Water Garden Pumps are exclusively designed for use
in a water garden skimmer. They range from 2000 gph up to 7,000
gph.
- These pumps
are ideal for waterfalls and larger water features up to 13,000
gallons but do not require the water to be pumped up to a high
elevation (IE: Less than 10' in height)
- The
asynchronous motor design ensures that the impeller spins in only
one direction; maximizing performance, reliability and minimizing
electrical consumption.
-
3-YEAR
FULL REPLACEMENT WARRANTY! (Customer only pays
shipping)
- Built-in
carrying handles add convenience.
- Pumps can be
used vertically or horizontally.
- Fish Safe -
Uses no oil!
- Recommended
for use in a skimmer prefilter or MicroSnorkel Pondless.
- The pump
includes one 1½ inch threaded coupler and one 90 degree elbow to
fit all applications (except for use with the AquascapePro 2" check
valve dual-union assembly) & 20' power cord.
- They're easy
to use, just set in a skimmer, connect the 1.5" (2" on the 7000)
out flow pipe to the waterfall, and watch the pump do the
work.
- All pumps in
ADIs' product line are specifically designed to support the
demanding requirement for 24 hour/7days a week operating condition
of a water garden.
- Continuous
operation heightens the importance of proper pump selection to
minimize power consumption yet deliver enough flow to produce the
natural sights and sounds of a beautiful water feature.
- AquaSurge
Pumps can be used as a non-submersible, in-line pump with the
proper fittings. Care must be taken to prevent solids in the
water from damaging the impeller.

* NOTE *: If you are using the AquaSurge Pump
(2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000 gph) to replace an exsisting AquascapePro Pump
(1500, 3000, or 4500 gph) and you have an Aquascape 2"
Dual-Union Check Valve, you will need one of two special
adapters.
- For a
Classic
Series Skimmer (rectangler in shape), you will
need the "Classic Series Adapter"
(SCU#99144) & a small 4 oz container of "Christy's Red Hot Glue".

- For a
Signature
Series Skimmer (flat front with rounded sides and back),
you will need the "Signature Series
Adapter" (SCU#29475) No glue is required for this
adapter. To view our installation video,

Special Note for Aquascape
Pro 1500 (SFA1500)and Aquascape Pro 4500(SFA4500)
Owners!
The
Aquascape Pro 1500 is discontinued & not available any more.
The AquaSurge 2000 and the 3000 are the official replacement pumps.
Comparing the Pump Performance charts on this page will tell
you which will be the best pump for you. The Aquascape Pro 1500 was
$349 and the AquaSurge 2000 is $319.98 and the AquaSurge 3000 is
$359.98.
If you have
any questions whether the pump is strong enough, please compare the
AquaSurge and Aquascape Pro Pump Performance Charts. The "Head
Height" is the VERTICAL height from the
pump to the TOP of the BioFalls. To
this, you add 1 foot of Head Height for every 10' of horizontal
distance that the pipe travels from the pump to the BioFalls. Find
and interpolate the Head Height on each chart to determine the
amount of water flow provided by each pump.
The Aquascape Pro 1500 took 205 watts vs the AquaSurge2000
which takes 250 watts (it is capable of pumping water higher (22')
than the Aquascape Pro 1500) and the AquaSurge 3000 which only uses
180 watts.
You may want to take this opportunity to step up the water
flow of your pond with the AquaSurge 3000 which uses less
power than your old Aquascape Pro 1500 and at 10' of Head Height
will generate 50% more water flow. If you are happy with your
current flow, then please select the pump that most closely
approximates that flow.
The AquaSurge 5000 only takes 250 watts compared to 625 watts
for the Aquascape Pro 4500 and is about $160 less to buy. At 5' of
Head Height, there is very little difference between the water flow
of the Aquascape Pro 4500 and the AquaSurge 5000. As the Head
Height increases, there is a larger water flow difference. The
decision for you to make is whether or not the significasnt energy
and purchase price savings will be offset by a reduction in water
flow.
SELECTING
A PUMP: Choosing a pump for a water garden should be
based on a few job requirements. Desired flow, pumping height and
electrical costs are all factors that need to be considered. The
higher the pump needs to push water, the less flow you are going to
get out of that pump. Pond Kits come with pumps sized to turn a
pond over at least once per hour. Make sure your pump application
follows the same guideline. If your applications' pumping height is
close to maximum pump shut off height, substitute the next larger
pump available.

NOTE: If you need this pump quickly,
do
not choose "Parcel Post" as your
shipping option at check out. We have found that Parcel Post
can take 3-4 days longer than what is listed as shipping
times. Priority Mail will take 2-3 days to go
from the East Coast to the West Coast. Additionally, Priority
Mail can be tracked much better than Parcel Post.
Proper plumbing is very
important!!!
Your pump can only work as
well as your plumbing system allows it to. A larger pump does not
always mean more water. A larger pump and larger pipe does
mean more water. You can only fit a certain amount of water through
a certain size hose.
1"hose= 1,500gph
2" hose=
5,400gph
1-1/4" hose= 2,700gph
3" hose= 13,500gph
1-1/2" hose= 3,600gph
4" hose= 21,000gph
For example: If you have a
pump that is rated for 7,200gph and you are using a 2" flex hose.
You are only going to get about 5,400gph coming out at the end of
the pipe. Yes, head height, elbows, etc. have a factor in it also
but I am trying to keep it simple and make a point. If you
need more GPH, try using 2 hoses or upsize to a larger diameter
hose.

My waterfall is powered by a very cheap in-line pump with 1 inch inlet and outlet connections. I want to replace the pump . . .
