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 blockingFind the Ideal Pump

Protection against blocking

If 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 Pump

Pump 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 Touches

You’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.

    Very basic but does the job
    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

    This Pump was recommended by Swell. Quick delivery by Amazo
    Before installing, I followed instructions how to strip down for cleaning. This was easy

    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.
