AquaForce 1000 Solids-Handling Pond Pump – 1,070 gph

The Aquascape AquaForce 1000 Solids Handling Pump is a fully submersible filter and waterfull pump designed to operate right inside your pond. It delivers the perfect balance of high energy performance, high volume water flow, and ease of installation; making it the pump of choice for discriminating pond owners.

The AquaForce 1000 is designed with a durable pre-filter cage that surrounds the entire pump. The pre-filter cage features large openings which allow solids to be processed by the pump. This means that leaves, algae, and other debris up to 0.25 inches can be passed and filtered without clogging or damaging the pump. The protective cage also makes the pump safe for use in ponds with fish. The pump cage clips can be easily opened for routine maintenance or debris removal.

The AquaForce 1000 comes with a convenient selection of fittings to simplify the installation process. Fittings include: a multi-hose adapter (1.5″, 2″), multi-hose adapter (1″, 1.25″, 1.5″), and a rotational ball output (1.5″). The extremely versatile rotating ball fitting provides you with the ability to adjust the discharge to the perfect position your water feature setup requires. The threaded collar on each of the fittings enables tool-free installation of the AquaForce pump.

The unique location of the plumbing discharge on the side of the AquaForce 1000 puts the hose in the perfect position to run along the bottom of your pond. Simply submerge the pump in your pond, and it’s ready to supply water to an external filter such as a pressure filter or waterfall filter. The AquaForce 1000’s submersible capabilities also make it a great pump to be used as a winter pond de-icer. Its powerful water flow positioned just below the surface of the pond will keep a hole open in the ice to ensure that critical oxygen levels are maintained during the cold winter months.

The AquaForce 1000 is equipped with an asynchronous motor which makes this pump more powerful and more energy efficient than traditional water feature pumps. The asynchronous motor achieves this level of performance by combining the electrical efficiency of a magnetically-driven pump with the flow rates of a conventional electric motor-driven pump. This hybrid style motor saves you hundreds of dollars in electrical costs annually.

The AquaForce 1000 is built to last, and includes a 3 year limited warranty to prove it. The rotor and internal housing are built from stainless steel to resist corrosion. The ceramic shaft and bearings provide exceptional durability and less rotating resistance compared to standard steel bearings ensuring that the rotor spins smoothly and efficiently. A series of cooling ports behind the impeller help circulate water around the rotating parts to ensure that the motor operates at the optimum temperature.

Simply put, the Aquascape AquaForce 1000 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is recommended for use in ponds up to 2,000 gallons in size. 14″ x 14″ x 6.5″
