Description
Savio Water Master Solid Handling Pumps are our top-of-the-line model for professional use. These pumps can handle suspended debris and spherical solids up to 1.25″, and 1.5″ in diameter for the 5000 and 6500. The oil-less design makes them safe for use in environments with fish, plants, and other aquatic life. Perfect for continuous duty use in Skimmerfilters and pond filtration systems. Prior to leaving the factory, every single pump is subjected to testing to ensure reliable operation. The end product: a reliable design that provides an unbeatable combination of quality and low maintenance. Pumps are CSA-approved for use in the USA and Canada.
- Designed to easily pass solids up to 1 inch removing them from your pond. They will be deposited into your F100 Livingponds filter and then you can back wash them out! This makes pond maintenance a breeze.
- The Water Master solids pump is a direct drive pump with dual mechanical SIC seals and more pressure than the asynchronous pumps delivering more water for bigger, taller waterfalls!
- Oil-free design makes the Water Master Solids Pump safe for aquatic life.
Choosing the Right Pump for My Water Feature
Pond type, head height, and friction loss all factor into the minimum pump size requirements.
Pond Type:
Water Garden, Few Small Goldfish: Circulate total pond water volume every 2 hours. Example: 2,000 GPH pump for 3000-gallon pond with 2″ waterfall.
Fish Pond, Several Small Fish: Circulate total pond water volume every 1 hour. Example: 3,800 GPH pump for 3000-gallon pond with 2″ waterfall.
Koi Pond, Several Large Fish: Circulate total pond water volume every 3/4 of an hour. Example: 5,500 GPH pump for 3000-gallon pond with 2″ waterfall.
Head Height:
To calculate the head height, take the vertical height of your waterfall; the distance between where your pump is (typically in the skimmer) and where your waterfall is, and adding the static head pressure (pipe and fittings) 1′ for every 10″ of tubing and 1′ for every elbow or “T” fitting.
Example: 3′ (vertical height) + 2.5 (25′ of tubing) + 2′ (for 2 elbows) = 7.5′ of Dynamic Head Pressure
Note: Head height is important to take into consideration due to the laws of fluid dynamics. Please refer to the flow chart above to help choose the correct pump.
