This one moves 10,000 litres an hour on 75 watts, a claimed saving of up to 65% against a conventional AC pump of the same output. Over a year of unbroken running, that difference is substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVariable speed, not just on and off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied control panel gives ten power settings, so you can match the pump to the job instead of throttling a full-power pump with a valve (which wastes energy and stresses the motor). There is also a feeding mode: 15 minutes off, then automatic resume after 60 minutes, so you can feed your fish without the current dragging pellets into the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRuns on 24 V, plugs into 220 V\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor itself is 24 V DC, which is the safety argument for this design — low voltage in the water. The supplied power supply converts from standard 220 V AC mains, so no special installation is needed. It uses true sine wave frequency conversion with a 6T sensor, which is what allows the smooth speed control rather than crude stepping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReading the flow and head figures — important\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10,000 L\/h and 6 m figures are \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e achieved at the same time. The flow figure is measured at \u003cstrong\u003ezero head\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the outlet level with the water surface. The 6 m figure is the \u003cstrong\u003eshut-off head\u003c\/strong\u003e: at that height the pump produces \u003cstrong\u003ezero flow\u003c\/strong\u003e. Real output declines steadily as lift increases, so size the pump on the flow you need at your actual lift height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePipe diameter matters as much as the pump. Narrower pipe means more friction loss, which means less flow and less effective lift. If you are running a long or thin line, step up the pipe size rather than the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow: 10,000 L\/h at zero head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum lift (shut-off head): 6 m, at which flow is zero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 75 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: 24 V DC, pure copper winding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 220 V AC input, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed settings: 10-stage selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeding mode: 15 min pause, 60 min auto-resume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (L × W × H): 19 × 11 × 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft: ceramic core and sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection: waterless (dry-run) damage protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater types: fresh and salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAmphibious — in or out of the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor is fully submersible, but it can equally be dry mounted outside the pond.
