AquaForte DM Pond Pump
The AquaForte DM Series offers highly energy-efficient, low-noise pond pumps designed for continuous operation. Suitable for both submerged and dry use, these pumps feature a durable ceramic shaft, automatic run-dry protection, and blockage detection. Ideal for ponds, filters, waterfalls, and water features, the DM Series delivers powerful flow with exceptionally low power consumption.
Product Description
The AquaForte DM Series Pond Pumps combine exceptional energy efficiency with advanced pump protection technology, making them one of the most popular choices for koi ponds, water gardens, filtration systems, and waterfalls. Equipped with innovative electronics and a durable ceramic shaft, these pumps are built for 24/7 performance with low noise and low running costs.
The DM Series features automatic dry-run protection, which safely shuts the pump down when no water is detected. If debris blocks the impeller, the pump intelligently enters a lock mode, using virtually no power until the obstruction is cleared—preventing motor burnout and extending service life.
Designed for flexible installation, the AquaForte DM can be used submerged or in dry applications, provided the inlet stays below the water level. Capable of handling solids up to 6 mm, the pump is ideal for feeding filters, moving pond water, or powering waterfalls and streams.
With a wide range of models available, the DM Series offers high performance with some of the lowest wattage ratings in its class, giving pond owners maximum flow with minimal energy consumption.
