Swell Filter Pumps 4,500LPH | Energy Efficient Pump | Garden Pond Pump | Filter Pump | 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. |

Quite a basic unit, haven’t had to clean it out yet so not sure how easy that will be but took 10 minutes to install and works perfectly
great pump, flow rate a little to much for my needs, but altered my filter box to slow rate. now running great.
Good price, easy to install and seems to work well. Thank you.
Works great. Only minor whinge is it doesn’t come fitted with a plug
This pump is easy to install and very easy to clean compared to pumps I’ve had before.
Reasonable price too.
Before installing, I followed instructions how to strip down for cleaning. This was easy
Very easy to install and connect to the filter. I could see a huge difference in just 12 hours. The water was thick and green, its now very clear. Unbelievable
Its quiet and creates a nice stream through my pebbles
Nothing to dislike,replaced a bigger pump and doing a better job.
Ordered to replace a 7 year old identical filter pump which has just worn out. Excellent product at a reasonable price. Arrived on time and is exactly as described.
I had a smaller one it lasted many years as I have a very big pond I bought this one I hope it last long as long
I currently have this set up in a 7x5x3ft kids swimming pool whilst a house move happens & new pond built. Goldfish & koi all happy pump doing great ..
Great pump very powerful. We have a large pond and the pump is working well through the filter and back to the pond. Very pleased.
Very good pumo with a good flow rate of water which keeps the pond lovely and clear.
You need jubilee clips, not sure about the cleaning yet!
Product arrives with two hidden screws holding the top and bottom together during transit, these need removing prior to setting up

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.

Im using it to power the waterfall in my outdoor tank but it gets clogged to much then stops working

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
Have had this pump for few weeks and i am very pleased with it. I have found it very easy to clean.

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!

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.
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.

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
Purchased this product to pump through a fountain and works very well. It was easy to install and so far pleased with my purchase.
Easy fitted to all ready fitted wiring etc. Works beautifully
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.
A very good pump. Does what it says on the ti
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.
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.

works well at the moment, last pump lasted 12years. ask me again the
The pump is everything I was looking for and is running just fine.
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 .

I use this pump to filter our duck pond. It functions brilliantly. It does not get blocked up by the small duck feathers as the cheaper pumps do. Well worth spending that little bit extra.
I would buy this pump again.
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.

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

What can I say, you just plug it in and connect it up and it works 24/7.
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.

Very efficient high pressure pump keeps my pond very clear as sends the pond water to the filter very quickly.

The pond pump has reduced my electric bill , it is easy to clean out and was easy to install
Easy to install in the pond fitted my existing hose. Easy to clean and a very copetitive price.
Arrived very promptly, and was easy to install together with hose/hose clip/mains cable and waterproof cable junction.

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.

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

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 to replace an Oase pump which we have had for about 12 years, seems to be doing the job so far.

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.

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.
Works well just out of the box and good price seems to be working keeping the pool in good conditio
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.
