Swell UK Pond Filter Pump 3,300 | Fully Submersible Energy Saving Eco Waterfall with Thermal Cut-off Features and 4-8mm Solids Handling – 3 Year Guarantee
Our best-selling solids handling pond pumps
With an excellent reputation with our customers, these filter pumps keep fish and the pond healthy. As solids handling pumps, they can let small particles, such as sludge, grit and debris pass straight through, while catching larger leaves and twigs to prevent filter damage. Easy to maintain, they provide a more consistent flow of water to the filter than other pumps, keeping the pond and fish healthy.

|---|---|---|
Protection against blockingIf enough particles larger than 4 mm pass through the pump cage, they can cause a blockage. While this can break some pumps, the Swell Filter Pumps are equipped with a thermal cut-off switch that temporarily disables the pump to prevent lasting damage. | Find the Ideal PumpPump flow rates drop when you pump higher and further than the pond, so you need to consider these effects. You should aim to purchase a pump that meets the maximum flow rate of your filter at its height above pond level. | The Finishing TouchesYou’ll need to consider how you’ll get power to your pump. To comply with UK electrical legislation, pond appliances can’t be supplied with a fitted, so you’ll need to purchase one separately or wire it into an outdoor socket. A 10 m cable is provided, but these do not come with a fitted plug, to allow you to lengthen the cable with a waterproof connector. |

Works well
Works well bigger and more powerful than my previous one. Just one thing make sure you check the pipe size before buying, the outlet pipe was too big for my flex pipe had to buy a reducer connector but worked well once all connected up.
easy to fi
eeded a good pump to replace one that stopped after 10 years arrived on time and just had to take hose of old one put on new one connected power its running grea
Great pump
Good replacement for my last pump, arrived very promptly, and was up and running in minutes
Swell were very helpful with information on the correct pump to buy
It’s easy to instal. 2 screws to open for cleaning. Internal pump removes from casing for easy cleaning. Quiet operation.
Powerful pump for ponds
Put this pump in nearly 3 months ago and have not had to clean it out yet. Was feeding into 2 filter boxes anc had to clean them out weekly. Made my own larger filt box to cope with the flow and my pond has cleared so I can now see the fish. Will need to clean top sponges at weekend but pump still going strong…
Early days but good so fa
The instructions say about removing the two screws holding the lid closed for transit. Only read that bit when it seemed difficult to open. After removing them it was all very easy to set up. There’s not much inside the case but what is there seems nicely made and put together. Only time will tell how reliable it is in the long term. All OK after 1 month.
Efficient pump working well for my waterfall
I used the pump in conjunction with my Oase filter to pump up to a waterfall.
It provides plenty of flow for my needs and the water fall looks great.

Product arrives with two hidden screws holding the top and bottom together during transit, these need removing prior to setting up
easy to use
It is very easy to install and very easy to clea
Excellent pump
Bought to supply a waterfall feature via a pressurized filter. Good flow rate nod seems to be happy pumping away 24/7 for a week so far (pond water is pretty murky to start with)
Reliable
My pump has been running for some six months now through the winter and is still going well. I can’t add any more. It pumps, it’s reliable and it’s easy to use. If you need a pond pump, buy this one.
Hit and miss
At first i thought it was great then along came the weekly or three time weekly de clog
Im using it to power the waterfall in my outdoor tank but it gets clogged to much then stops working
I have a large filter pump in there to but it still gets clogged
Good pump
I had a oase pump for 25 years finally gave up this new pump is a little better but more output it is a better design and less voltage
good pump
Have had this pump for few weeks and i am very pleased with it. I have found it very easy to clean.
Expensive but worth i
Ok in my pond ish it does work well tho but there are better ones out there…it would be good for a smaller pond.
I have tried several pumps & this one is amazing
My pond water is really clear, the pump is grea
Good pump, good flow
Works well, my only gripe is that the flow rate cant be adjusted so its all or nothing.
Excellent value
Easy to install…Was unsure of the pump size I needed but does the job perfectly
Excellent produc
Just built my first fish pond pump works like a dream . Really easy to install. Top quality product . Great value for money
Pump o
I use the pump to circulate the water around my small pond and it works perfectly.
Easy to install just plug it in.
Happy Days
Very easy to install. Working very well.
Pumps quietly and gives an excellent flow ov water to my filter uni
The fish love i
The hardest part was supplying a safe electric feed to the pond. Once I sorted that out it was fine. The water cleared after 2 weeks and the fish lying near the surface as the o2 levels improved. It’s fine for my 5x4x2 foot pond. Good value and just keeps umping!
Excellent pump
This pump is really good easy to clean and does a good job at pumping the water into the filter box
Very good reliable product.
Product used in medium sized pond and performed exactl;y as described. Will purchase again
whenever necessary.
Good quality pump
Great product works well. Useful to buy with hose and clips item. Chart for pond capacity helped to buy correct size pump.
Excellent Pump.
Very powerful little pump, i had to eventually install a valve to slow the flow dow
It’s powerful
I like how easy it is to clean. And sits nicely of the bottom of the pond. Also this model seems quite powerful compared to my previous pump that was rated higher than this one. Very pleased with this pump.
Works fine
Bought to replace previous pump,was smaller then old pump but same pump rating,comes with about 5 metre of cable,no plug but I wired it to external fuse box with MCB.Cleared pond in about 2 days with separate UV light,and now keeping pond pretty clear since.
Works well but no flexibility
Shame there is no flexible output adjustment. Had no option but to leave upright. Runs and pumps well but is noisy.
Easy to fit pond pump
Easy to fit and does the job , only thing now is – will it last ? Will know the answer to that in a yea
Very powerful
Much more powerful than my old one it had to go back and get a lower rate
EXCELLENT SWELL POND PUMP
This is the second Swell Pond Pump that we have purchased for our large pond! This was runs the newly installed waterfall – its easy to install and run! They are very well made, efficient, great value pumps and so easy to keep clean. We can only very highly recommend this pump to anyone.
Good service
Used for a waterfall in a pond, works perfect, Thanks
does the job
it does the job
no pump is easy t clean after a while, so no better or worse than all other pumps,
but i have used these ones before and i like them
Good product so fa
Good product so far however it has only been a week, it seems to be managing so far with our large pound.
The water flow on this pump is really good seems really easy to clean too
Only had it installed for a couple of days and the waters looking clearer already. My old pond pump broke and was so pleased this came by next day delivery brillia
Does everything that I needed a pump to do.
Purchased this product to pump through a fountain and works very well. It was easy to install and so far pleased with my purchase.
efficiant pump
i needed a new pump so decided on this one as a close replacement, i like the side water outlet as i didn’t want one for a fountain, it has a good flow of water so does the job for me and i knew it wouldn’t be a proper filter pump.
Very efficient and working well.
The pump has been working for over a month and I must say it’s performing extremely well. It appears to be running better than a more expensive pump which it replaced. As yet it has not been necessary to clean it. Due to an accumulation of rotten leaf debris, it’s suspended in a submerged bucket covered by plastic mesh, and this has worked well to filter the water. Time will tell whether it stands the test of time but should it encounter any problems I will edit this review. At the moment I consider it good value for money and would buy it again.
Very gentle
So far the pump has been in the pond for two days, so how it works over a period before it needs cleaning, we will have to wait and see, it was easy to install with very careful instructions and did not soak me when I plugged it in.
Basic. (13000 model)
Plain brown box arrived containing the 13000 model. Photo shows the rather basic contents. A retail box or colour leaflet would’ve brightened up the delivery. All seems a bit ‘wholesale’ . Not installed yet but thought the photos would help anyone expecting more than the very basic level of packaging and instructions.
Does the job
Early days but so far so good. Gives a very good flow through an ancient water pump and it allows particles to be filtered up to 4mm
Powerful little pump
Easy to install just put in the pond and plug it in simple
Making sure our fish and Terrapins were happy and value for money
So easy to set up, excelent value for money, very quick delivery, our pond was clear within an hour of installing, which was brilliant as it was pretty murky, the fish and Terrapins love i
Good pump
Used thus pump in a small pond. Successfully pumps water to filter about 3m away with a gravity return to pond over water fall.
Height of filter about 75cm
The capability to pump plenty of water for your pond .
Baby otter pump broke . This pump is capable of pumping a lot of water . The best pump i’ve ever had . I did not need a fountain outlet so it does not have one .
Swell UK Pond Filter Pump (2,300)
Nice simple pump, just right for my small pond/waterfall. Got to replace a hozelock pump that finally died after it had been in use for over 20 years. This one has a smaller casing ( the pump itself is about the same size) and is really easy to separate and clean, much much much easier than the hozelock was! Been using for about six months now (purchased July 2020) and have no complaints. If it also lasts 20 years I will be well pleased.
Powerful
Great pump,does it’s job. It’s so good,I even bought one for my mum’s pond when hers broke
A good priced pond pump.
Less than 12 months since purchase, so far so good, lets see how long to lasts.
Excelle
This pump is brilliant, I’ve had a few different brands and must say this pump is so much better than my old ones. Water flowed down my waterfall within 2 seconds of switching this on. The flow is perfect and the larger holes make it extremely good at sending the larger debris to my filter. Would definitely recommend.
Great pump
So much better than the pump we had, lighter, more effective, keeps pond clean, half the price of some retail stores, thought it would be a temp solution when actually it’s a great pump at great value. Massive improvement if the one I had which was twice the price
Works well
My very old pump failed and was not repairable so I opted for this replacement as it was on sale. I was initially concerned because it was much smaller than the outgoing pump but it works at a similar capacity. I have quite a large pond and the pump is used to push water through a filter and out through a feature. Which it does admirably well.
after sales service
I must give this company 10 out of 10 for customer satisfaction, had 2 pumps from them over 5 years 1st pump ran non stop for4 years awesome! second one ran for 1 year none stop failed last week, rang swell ltd no problem new pump was delivered next day under their 3 year guarantee can not fault for service A HARVEY
Very good pump and a great price
Very efficient high pressure pump keeps my pond very clear as sends the pond water to the filter very quickly.
Can handle a decent pond depth
Easy to install in the pond fitted my existing hose. Easy to clean and a very copetitive price.
Only Okay
Larger than I thought and not as powerful, but as I only have a water feature as opposed to a large pool, this will be sufficie
Quick to fit.
This was a replacement for an old pump. It was quick to fit, is a lot smaller and easier to clean than my previous pump. So far perfect for the size pond I have.
Excellent pump for reciculating/waterfall effect for my pond (3 m x 1.5 m x about 60 cm deep)
Arrived very promptly, and was easy to install together with hose/hose clip/mains cable and waterproof cable junction.
The photograph accompanying the description of this item showed an outlet pipe which was capable of being positioned at at an angle which would best suit its location in the pond. (This applied to both Amazon and the supplier’s own website.) However, the pump supplied had a rigid outlet pipe which basically sticks out horizontally, at 90Degrees to the long axis of the pump. On trying the punp in the pond, I discovered that it was just possible to orientate it in an acceptable position so I decided to keep it.
In addition, I questioned the country of manufacture (being wary of cheap Chinese knock-offs) and was informed that it was British-made. However the user manual is printed in English and German and the name and address printed on the back page of the manual (usually indicative of an item’s origin) is German. While my years of experience in selling and servicing technical equipment of German origin has shown me that their engineering standards are usually as good of those of the UK, I feel that the information provided about this product is not correct and could lead to risk of referral to the Trading Standards organisation.
Does a great job of pumping water for a waterfall in a garden pond.
This is for the 2300 version
This pump does a great job of pumping water for a waterfall in a garden pond. It’s not a huge pont so to be honest the 1400 would have done just as well.
A tip for you though, don’t bother with the overpriced black hose and seperate clips, a 2.5m washing machine drain hose costing less than a fiver is just as good. The rubber ends fits over the pump spigot perfectly and holds without the need for a jubilee clip.. If you need to camouflage the pipe, simply slip it inside the leg of an old pair of black tights, cable-tie it in place, and the hose will be rendered invisible.
he rate of flow
Easy to install and delivers the volume stated looks good
I’m happy with this pump but the description is a bit misleading to amateurs like us.
It’s advertised as a pond filter pump and that’s exactly what it is…. a pump for pond filters.
We misread it as a pump that filters the water.
However, it’s working well so far and It’s not connected to a separate filter. We use it to run a waterfall. Flow for our small pond is quite fast, we have the 2300 version.
Good pond pump
Good pond pump dose the job, very efficient, we have a 480 litre pond.
The delivery was good and quick. I recommend this pump.
Speedy waterfall flow
Excellent pump cannot believe the sheer speed the water runs down our waterfall it’s fab
Good pump
Had one of these already, witch has now died, but was running 24/7 and did have it for a few years, they are a good buy. would with no problem order again when this one dies on me.
Brilliant Buy
Bought to replace a much more expensive pump which has stopped working although only 19 months old. It wa still under guarantee but the company (not Amazon ) wanted it returned to them at my expense before deciding on a course of action?? Decided to purchase a new pump instead. This Swell pump was delivered overnight is half the price, runs like a dream, is very easy to set up. If it lasts as long as the guarantee it will be money well spent!
Very pleased at the moment.
Better than expected!
This little pump is doing a grand job, it’s powerful for its size and can raise the water easily 1.3mtr to the filter box through a UV light box. Very pleased
For Circulating the Wate
Works fine for me. Maybe should have bought a bigger pump as they always seem to lose power after a while.
Water volume adjustme
It apparently does not have a water volume adjustment, if it does it is not made clear in the instructions book .
looks good
Just installed the pump i am anticipating it will last longer than previous pumps I have purchased from other sellers looking good fingers crossed others have only lasted 3 to 5 months
Does the job
Not sure on the flow rate being accurate.
I’m going to need a bigger one. Maybe my hose is too long. So should have over sized the pump.
Also a bit fiddly to clean for me the lid always falls off, hinges could hold the lid better
5m of 1.25″ hose.
Upgrading to the 5000L preium instead
Bought this filter pump after reading the reviews and I have to say that its absolutely brilliant I have a 3ft deep 4ft wide and 11ft long pond and within 3 days its already clearing after the water sitting in it for the last 2 weeks we cannot wait to get the fish in there my son is so excited top marks on everything and jts no problem having to fit an RCD plug
Great value pump
Bought to replace an Oase pump which we have had for about 12 years, seems to be doing the job so far.
Very clever desig
Best pond pump I’ve ever bought. What I really liked about it is how easy it is to clean, all the bits can be dismantled by hand in seconds (no tools required) , cleaned under running water and re-assembled in seconds again. Very clever design.
Not as expensive and but does the job
It is hard to say anything about this item so far so good but I only got it for a few days ask two years down the line again and I can say something more useful
We were working on a rock water feature, I bought this not thinking it through and not realising the difference in pumps, the nozzle for the outlet is on the side (I thought they were all the same). for a feature I needed it at top, hubby was not happy (with me) however easy rectified – he had to pop out and buy a elbow piece to make the water go directly up so the hose can be fitter to be inserted into the base of the rock – all working now and very happy. The pressure is good, however there is no adjustment – it is all pressure or nothing.
This has proven to be much more robust and easier to keep running at full flow than the cheap Chinese pump I bought last time. Tolerates a higher level of leaf fall and other debris and is easier to clean when I do get round to it. This size is just right for feeding a waterfall feature with a total rise of about 1 metre through about 3 metres of 25mm pipe.
I had to replace my pond pump and was a little unsure at first about ordering this product, as it was cheaper than the previous one I had bought (more established brand). I read other positive reviews and just went for it. My pond is basically about 7ft long 3 ft wide x 2.5 ft deep and the 1400 model is more than adequate for my needs. It’s connected to a filter and the water pours back into the pond off a rill at just the right amount / with a relaxing sound. In other words, it doesn’t sound like a stallion relieving itself at a watering hole.
It seems well manufactured and the pond water is clear. There’s no plug with it…but I wouldn’t be put off with that.
To feed it to my shed power supply I would have had the plug off anyway. My personal opinion…good product at a great price.
A Poweful Pump
We use this pump in our large aquaponics setup and we are very happy with the results. The pump is extremely powerful, truth be told, more powerful than we currently need, but it circulates the water very well and am happy to recommend this product.
uns nice
well pleased with my pump it does what it says
Powerful and easy to use
Well my fish are still alive and the pump and filter are still going. The pond water is clear so it is obvious doing a good job. 🙂
Ease to use
Works well just out of the box and good price seems to be working keeping the pool in good conditio
value for money
Wonderful pump, easy to install and to clean plus a price that is very reasonable.
Excellent value for money.
Used in our fishpond as a replacement for another make that had failed, this one is considerably cheaper but has met with all of my expectations. It is robust and well packaged for delivery. The package contains everything that I would expect.
Plenty of pressure
This replaces a bigger unit (similar flow rate, but 20+ years old & probably less efficient). It has been pumping for weeks now, as hoped. Bags of flow, but it does hum very slightly, which I had not noticed with the old unit – The fish don’t seem to mind.
I admit my pond was about a month overdue a pump being turned on after the Winter so any pump would have its work cut out. This little unit does the trick and I am pleased with it’s efficacy. The only niggle I have is the opening hinges to clean the unit. It takes some fiddling and being plastic I feel they may break with time. Would I buy this again? Yes.
What a brilliant little pump the 1400 is from swell uk , i did,nt think it would do the job but it has proven me wrong,
pond water was clean through filter, in four hours and i can see the bottom of the pond, thank you.
Easy to install.
Pumping efficiently.
Brought to replace my old unit. (different make item).
Very pleased with product so far. It has been in the pond for a week, so yet to clean.
Great looking pump.
If it lasts as long as my old pump, it will be even better value for money.
Sensible pricing.
Prompt delivery.
