PondKraft PeakFlow Filter Pump Information

The PondKraft Peakflow range has been specifically selected for quality, practicality and reliability so that we can bring our customers great products at even greater prices. Every good brand of pond products needs a good filter pump, the PondKraft PeakFlow Filter Pump is just that. We've tested these filter pumps extensively in our pond at Bradshaws Direct, and their reliability has been outstanding, as well as being trouble free. All this is backed up with a 3 year guarantee.

Multi Stage Hose Fittings

All the hose that we sell is set to fairly standard sizes, so no matter which hose size you currently are using on your filtration set up, your purchased product is bound to fit. It's always best to use the maximum hose size available if fitting your filter pump onto a brand new set up. With the PondKraft Filter Pump the maximum size is 40mm. Also please make sure to remember hose clips to tighten the hose to the hosetail, without these you could loose all the water in your pond! When using a hosetail always make sure that you cut the smaller sized connections off to allow maximum water flow through your system.

Large Surface Area Debris Grille

The PondKrafts PeakFlow's filter cage has been designed with a huge surface area that will accept solids up to 6mm in size. The size of the surface area on a pump is a very important part of the design, if the surface area was too small the pump would not be able to handle the water flow and also the debris due to insufficient intake holes in the grille. With the PondKraft allowing up to 6mm solids, the pump is going to take in all the sludge from the bottom of your pond, and stop gravel, wildlife or blanket weed being sucked into the impeller reducing the risk of malfunction to your pump.

Cleaning and maintenance of you filter pump

As previously explained, these pumps will not require a great deal of maintenance throughout the year, you should only need to check the filter cage approximately every quarter or if the water flow slows. When you do need to take the filter pump out of your pond for cleaning, remember never pull it out by the power cable and to always turn off all the power to the pump. To start the cleaning process you will need a sponge or a cloth and your hose pipe. Start by giving the outside cage a spray with your hose pipe to remove as much debris as possible. If possible, try to do this over a flower bed or into a compost bin as the pond sludge makes an ideal fertilizer. Once you have removed as much debris as possible, turn the pump over and remove the four screws that hold the cage apart, you will need a Philips head screwdriver for this. Now remove the main pump, clean the cage with the hose pipe and your sponge and put it to one side.

To clean the impeller and the inside of the pump really is easy. There are three Philips head screws that you will be able to see, these all need to be removed, which will allow you to remove the protective cover on the impeller. The cover can be seen at the back right of the above picture. Once the impeller cover has been removed, you will be able to slide the impeller out and clean this with a sponge or a cloth, making sure to remove all debris and lime scale. Next you will need to make sure that the main tunnel of the body is clean and also free from debris, the cleaner this all is, the longer your impeller will last. Once fully clean, re-assemble the full filter pump and cage and it is ready for use again within your pond.
