Aquascape’s EcoWave Pond Pump is a magnetically driven pond and waterfall pump developed to provide high flow rates at low head heights. The internal smart mag-drive motor technology and vortex style impeller ensure unmatched electrical efficiency, minimizing the electrical consumption of your pond or waterfall. The EcoWave Pond Pump is ideal for use in ponds.

Mag-drive technology makes this pump extremely energy efficient, saving hundreds of pounds over traditional pumps.  The EcoWave Pond Pump 2000 uses just 65W which is the same as your laptop.

To make installation quick and easy, included are multi hose fittings for 1″- 1.5″, 1.5″rotational ball output for variable angled connections, 2″ FPT to 1.5″ MPT and 1.5″ Female Coupling.  This make this EcoWave Pond Pump easy to install in a wide variety of applications including our Pond kits with tool free installation.

A durable pre-filter cage design protects the pump while significantly reducing maintenance, providing years of trouble-free operation. A wide, flat base and rubber feet make the EcoWave Pond Pump stable and decrease the amount of vibration during use, while the oil-free design prevents pond contamination.

How to care for your pump

To ensure the longest lifespan with your EcoWave Pond Pump, remember to service it quarterly.  Unplug it from the mains before removing from the water.  Remove the front cage and rinse out the filters, paying particular attention to the impellor inside.

Where should I position my pump

The pump should NOT be installed in the deepest part of the pond.  This prevents debris from being pulled to the very bottom of the pond, makes it easier to maintain and allows the maximum amount of water to be pushed by the pump.  Instead, place the pump on a shelf or bricks, as far away as you can from the outflow of water to create circulation.

Selecting your Pump Size:

What is your Flow Rate

Most pond pumps are rated by the litres of water they’re able to pump per hour (lph).  These EcoWave Pond Pumps are for waterfalls – not fountains and spouts, this would be our Ultra series.

As a general rule of thumb, a pump with a flow rate of 10 000LPH is needed for every 300mm of waterfall width.  This will raise the water-level up by 1 inch (25mm) so check that your liner will allow this first.

What is your Pond Volume

A basic pond pump will have the capability of turning the total volume of water over once per hour. Therefore, before choosing an EcoWave Pond Pump, you need to know the number of litres of water in your feature.

You can find the volume of your pond in litres with this useful equation:

(Length x Width x Average Depth) x 0.8 = Pond Volume*

*We multiply by 0.8 to account for rocks & curves in the pond.

What is your Head Height

Head height, also known as total dynamic head, represents the height water needs to be lifted (static head) plus the friction experienced by the water as it runs through the pipes (dynamic head).

Dynamic head is the amount of resistance caused by the plumbing. Water velocity (flow rate), pipe diameter, length and pipe material all play a role in dynamic head. Additional resistance will also be caused by fittings such as elbows and valves. Since this equipment is typically buried in the ground, sometimes an estimation of dynamic head needs to be used.

The calculation below is a simple way to estimate the approximate head height.

Static Head (in meters) + (Pipe Length x 0.1) = Approx. Head Height*

*Static head: The height difference between the surface of the pond and the top of the waterfall
Pipe length: We’re calculating 10cm of head per 1m tubing
