Maximize your waterfall flow with the master DW Waterfall
Pump
One common mistake that beginner water gardeners often make
is that they fail to take the height and width of their waterfall
into consideration, when they purchase a waterfall pump. Because of
this, it is quite common for water gardeners to underestimate the
size of the pump required for their pond.
Calculating the proper pump for waterfalls can be tricky,
because waterfall pumps are rated by both GPH and maximum waterfall
height. To estimate your waterfall's height, you must measure the
vertical height from the top of your pump to the top of your waterfall
or stream. In addition, you must add another foot of height or lift
for every 10 feet of hosing you will be using (this will allow for
loss of volume from resistance within the hose). To calculate the
required pump GPH, a general rule of thumb is that each inch of width
of the channel will require an extra 100 GPH. For example, if your
stream or waterfall spillway will be 10 inches wide, you will need
a pump that produces an excess flow of 1000 GPH at your waterfall's
height.
Do not make the mistake of underestimating the pump size that
you require, otherwise, your waterfall will be reduced to a trickle
of water. If you have a large waterfall, you will need a specialized
pump that will provide you sufficient GPH.
GardenSuperMart is proud to introduce a new product line of
high-end Master DW submersible waterfall pumps that can run at ratings
of up to 2780 GPH. The pumps in the Master DW series have been designed
for medium to large ponds, for particularly dirty water, and to create
waterfalls.
One of the most significant benefits of the Master DW series
is that they have been designed to be clog-free. In addition to their
built-in double filtration intake that can filter waste particles
up to 8mm in size, all Master DW pumps feature an anti-clog system
which consists of a double-rotation impeller. This "self-cleaning"
feature is particularly useful when there is an abundance of leaves
and sediment in your pond water. If one of the rotors is ever blocked
by an object, the impeller will reverse direction, until the object
is removed and normal operating status can be restored. And if these
two fail-safe anti-clog mechanisms are not enough, the pump can also
be combined with external filters for increased filtration.
The Master DW currently comes in 1430 GPH (Master DW 5500)
and 2780 GPH (Master DW 10500) versions. Both run on SICCE's patented
NRG energy system, which utilizes magnet-synchronous motors for exceptional
power and reliability. However, the 10500 model is a top-of-the-line
pump which offers an unprecedented 10,500 lt/h power/head performance
at 10 mt.
The simplicity and reliability of the Master DW's synchronous
motors, and its fail-safe anti-clog system, combined with the most
sophisticated electronics make the Master DW a truly unique product.
