These are larger flow pumps needed for filter systems and spectacular waterfalls with low power consumption. They have vortex impellers and a prefilter cage to easily handle soft solids for filtering.
Our Filter and Waterfall pumps have wear-resistant ceramic bearings, asynchronous motors and thermal overload protection.
Inline and dry-mounting is possible with a flooded suction. The cage is easy to remove for maintenance.
They are fully submersible pumps and the adjustable base plate can be rotated.
Suggested flow rates:
Waterfalls and streams up to 0.4m wide……………. 3000 to 4000 L/Hr
Large waterfalls and streams up to 1.0m wide …….. 6000 to 12000 L/Hr
If you need help Selecting the Right Size Pond Pump, here is a guide to help you select the correct Pond, Waterfall or Fountain Pump.
1" inlet/outlet - Max Flow is 6000 Litres/hr - Max Head is 5 Metres
1" inlet/outlet - Max Flow is 8000 Litres/hr - Max Head is 7 Metres
1" inlet/outlet - Max Flow is 10000 Litres/hr - Max Head is 9 Metres
1.5" inlet/outlet - Max Flow is 18000 Litres/hr - Max Head is 6 Metres
2" inlet/outlet - Max Flow is 28000 Litres/hr - Max Head is 7 Metres

This calculation gives a recommended flow-rate for the height and width of your waterfall, for your chosen thickness of water flow.
Choose the thickness of water you want running over the top of your waterfall. Generally, the higher the waterfall, the thicker the sheet of water should be.
Our suggestions are:
Height of Waterfall / Suggested Thickness of Water Flow
0.25m / 5mm
0.5m / 7.5mm
0.75m / 10mm
1.0m / 12.5mm
1.25m / 15mm
1.5m / 17.5mm
1.75m / 20mm
2.0m / 22.5mm
2.5m / 27.5mm
3.0m / 30mm
Calculate the suggested flow-rate by using the formula Width of Waterfall (in metres) x Thickness (in mm) x 1450 (constant) = Flow in L/Hr. Example: For a waterfall 1.0m high, choose 12.5mm thickness, the waterfall is to be 0.8m wide. 0.8m (width) x 12.5mm (thickness) x 1450 (constant) = 0.8 x 12.5 x 1450 = 14,500 litres/hour.
Choose a pump that is capable of providing the desired flow rate. For the above example, select a pump that is capable of 14,500 L/Hr (or greater) at 1.0m head height. It is important to remember that the flow is at the height of the waterfall, so you need to look at the flow-charts to find a pump that can give this flow or preferably more, at 1.0m head height. To allow for friction losses etc., in pipework, it is always best to over-specify.
Thank you Marion for your assistance in choosing the right bore pump for my needs. Your estimation of pressure with respect to type of sprinklers was spot on. A good service.
I bought a Franklin 6 inch bore pump and it was dispatched the following day. Too easy!!! Love the service. (purchased a Franklin Electric 6 six inch bore pump). Thanks Jake
Thanks Marion for your prompt action on my order. The pump motor arrived within a week and the bore is back in service. (purchased a Franklin Electric 4″ submersible motor)
I have bought two sump pumps from this business in the last few years. This is an excellent business as Marion has always been extremely helpful in choosing the best pump for the job. I have been very happy with how quickly my pumps have been delivered. An excellent business to deal with.
I ordered a 12v water pump on line. Marion responded quickly with a personal communication (rather than the more robotic ones I’ve become used to lately from other companies) to confirm the delivery details which is refreshing. Ongoing communication was kept up re picking, dispatch etc and the unit turned up surprisingly quickly. Very happy with my first engagement with Strongman Pumps. They’ll be the first port of call in future. 5 stars.
Submersible bore pump at an excellent price and don’t be put off by the distance away as freight service was very prompt and included in the overall price. My first call or email will be to Marion when I need another pump. Highly recommend Strongman pumps.
I ordered my pump (Solar fountain pump with battery backup) on Friday afternoon and received it Tuesday. There was a substantial cost saving when compared with the local irrigation supplier suggested by the manufacturer. They would have had to order it in specially yet Strongman had stock and it was delivered to my door. Marvelous!!
Marion went above and beyond my expectations in listening to my needs and tailoring a solution for me. Amazing customer service and great product thankyou. (purchased a household pressure pump). Cheers Nick
