It moves 3000 litres an hour drawing only 25 watts — low enough that running it continuously through the year barely registers on a bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTen speeds, not one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven at this size you get the full ten-stage control panel, which is unusual in the entry tier. It means you can run a small feature gently rather than at full tilt, and reducing the speed actually reduces consumption — unlike closing a valve, which simply wastes the energy. Feeding mode gives you a 15-minute pause with automatic resume after 60 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e24 V motor, 220 V supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor runs at 24 V DC, keeping the voltage in the water low. The supplied power supply converts from normal 220 V mains, so there is nothing special to install. Sine wave frequency conversion with a 6T sensor handles the speed control smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReading the flow and head figures — important\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3000 L\/h and 4.0 m figures are \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e achieved at the same time. Flow is measured at \u003cstrong\u003ezero head\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the outlet level with the water surface. The 4.0 m figure is the \u003cstrong\u003eshut-off head\u003c\/strong\u003e: at that height the pump produces \u003cstrong\u003ezero flow\u003c\/strong\u003e. Actual output tapers off as lift increases, so plan on the flow you need at your real lift height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePipe diameter matters here more than on the bigger models, because there is less power in reserve to overcome friction. Use the widest practical pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow: 3000 L\/h at zero head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum lift (shut-off head): 4.0 m, at which flow is zero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 25 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\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\u003eIn or out of the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully submersible, or dry mounted beside the pond if you would rather keep it accessible and out of the silt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOBO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49252609458411,"sku":"SOBO-3000","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/8100\/8107\/files\/Eco_Amphibious_fb9febce-62dc-4341-b166-f84a1917a2ba.png?v=1787127147","url":"https:\/\/myaquaponics.co.za\/products\/sobo-eco-amphibious-3000-24v-dc-pond-pump","provider":"Myaquaponics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
