the pump blocking is reduced . The increased pressure these pumps produce also works better when using the narrow diameter pipework often required for water features .
Filter and Waterfall pumps are designed to produce lots of flow and move solid waste to a filter . The large holes in the casing are designed to allow larger particles to pass through without clogging .
Adding water to a project has never been easier . This is because OASE has created complete solutions for installers . This means that everything from the pump to the feature itself is OASE made . OASE can provide the technical knowledge and support on all the products you use .

To create the waterfall effect on the other page , a 1-metre-wide blade dropping 1 metre into a pond will require 300 litres per minute flow rate . That ’ s 18,000 LPH to maintain a full sheet of water effect . Don ’ t forget that taking head loss into account , you will require a pump larger than an 18,000 model to give you 18,000 LPH at the 1m head height .
