AquaSurge Gen 2 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.
- FREE STANDARD SHIPPING ON ALL AQUASURGE PUMPS!
* 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". To view our installation video, "CLICK HERE"
- 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, "CLICK HERE"

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.
The Top Five Reasons for replacing your Aquascape Pro 3000 or 4500 with an AquaSurge are:
1. Price: about $150 - $200 cheaper for comparable Flow Rates
2. Energy Efficiency: AquaSurge 3000 gph pump takes only 165 Watts vs. 280 watts for the Aquascape Pro 3000. The AquaSurge 5000 gph pump takes 360 Watts vs 625 Watts for the Aquascape Pro 4500.
3. Warranty: The AquaSurge is one of the few pumps in the industry to have a THREE YEAR WARRANTY. The Aquascape Pro line has a 2 year warranty.
4. More Bang for the Buck: The Aquasurge 5000 gets out 5000 gph at 5' vs only 4500 gph for the Aquascape Pro 4500.
5. Winter Maintenance: The old Aquascape Pro pumps needed to stay submerged in a bucket of water if you took the pump out in the winter in order to keep the seals wet. Since the Aquasurge pumps do not have seals or oil, no need to keep in water over the winter.
Submersible waterfall and filter pump made for use in skimmer style filter systems (available in flow rates from 2000 to 5000 GPH) AquaSurge® second-generation asynchronous skimmer and waterfall and filter pumps accomplish what most other pumps only aspire to achieve.
The combination of energy-efficient performance, and flow and ease of maintenance, make this pump the ideal choice for discriminating pond owners.

Redesigned for 2012! Aquascape's AquaSurge pump was already our most popular pond pump, and they've made massive improvements with the new design. Aquascape improved the pumps reliability and at the same time did two amazing things for their AquaSurge Gen 2 pumps:
- They increased pump flows up to 20%
- They decreased electricity usage up to 60%
Oh, and then they reduced the prices by up to 17.5%. Impressive!
The electricity savings alone should save you hundreds of dollars. Here are the details of the improvements:
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.

Troubleshooting
|
Let’s take a quick look at
troubleshooting an Aquasurge submersible pump. This is a horizontal pump
with a black plastic body and a screened intake. They're affordable, energy
efficient, come with a 3-year warranty, and are used in both contractor and
DIY installations.
The way the pump is built lends itself to troubleshooting. We have had
success restoring proper pump performance with any of the tips shown below.
No special tools or advanced knowledge is required.
Quite often, when a more substantial problem isn't present, these
simple tips provide an easy solution to the client's problem.
Troubleshooting Examples...
Symptom: Weak flow or no flow
Possible Solution:
Disconnect the check valve at the threaded collar and give it a
shake. If you hear a rattling noise your check valve is broken. Replacing
it with a new check valve will restore proper pump performance.
Symptom: Weak flow or no flow
Possible Solution:
Check the screened (intake) side of the pump for debris such as
algae, sticks, and mulch. Remove all debris.
Symptom: Pump doesn't run
Possible
Solution: Replace the remote/receiver unit with a new
remote/receiver. Use all the functions on the remote to see if proper
performance is restored. (Note: This solution will only work for
Aquasurge PRO adjustable flow pumps)

AquaSurge Gen2 Pond Pump
From Anonymous of Bethany, Connecticut on .
The pump has been working great since purchase. Good, strong water flow. Easy set-up. We do a weekly cleaning of the filter to ensure a good, clean, strong flow of water to the pump. Highly recommended.
