It’s time to start thinking about opening the pond and today’s feature pond pump is the Openflow Debis-handling pump by Tetra Pond

Open Flow Debris Handling Pond Pump by Tetra are fabulously reliable pumps that feature:

• Large basket which minimizes blockage and maintenance.
• Multi direcional outlet that avoids kinked hose
• A Ceramic shaft and bearing for low friction which results in a long life
• Reliable disc motor technology. Only one moving part. No magnet to wear out.
• The motor is protected against water.
• No seals on rotating parts to wear out or leak and fully encapsulated in epoxy-prevents motor failure
• Cleans the pond as it pumps without clogging.
• 3/8 inch holes allow most debris to pass firectly to the filter
• Rugged debris handling impeller can pass
• 3/8 inch gravel without damage to the blades.

Most traditional pond pumps are designed to operate a fountain in conjunction with a waterfall or filter. Due to fountain heads requiring clean water in order to operate, these pumps must be pre-filtered with either a sponge or fine-mesh cage.

In addition, the internal parts of the pump also need protecting from solid waste, to prevent them clogging and breaking.

This results in your pond pump needing to be cleaned more regularly. The OFX pump solves this problem by allowing any solid waste to pass through its specially designed moving parts, and on up to a waterfall or filter. This means virtually no clogging, and therefore very little maintenance.
