Aquascape 5-PL Pond Pump
World-renowned for their quality, dependability, and performance, Aquascape PL and PN series pumps are ideal for use in skimmer filters and Pondless Waterfall applications.
The Aquascape 5-PL 5000 Solids-Handling Pond Pump is ideal for use in ponds, Pondless® waterfalls, and other water feature applications. Known for durability, performance, and value, the 5-PL 5000 Solids-Handling Pond Pump is constructed of stainless steel and composite resin for strength and corrosion resistance. The pump has a maximum flow rate up to 5,300 gallons per hour and its semi-vortex impeller design enables the pump to handle solids effectively, resulting in less maintenance and trouble-free performance. The energy-efficient, continuous-duty, direct-drive motor operates at lower temperatures, extending the life of the pump significantly. The pump also contains a built-in thermal overload, protecting it from damage if ever run in low-water conditions. The 2-inch threaded discharge makes installation quick and easy. The 5-PL 5000 Solids-Handling Pond Pump also carries a 2-year limited warranty.
Engineers have designed the Aquascape PL series pump to be hydraulically ‘dialed’ into the lower total dynamic head ranges typically found on water feature applications, helping increase the lifespan of the pump by reducing vibration and premature component wear.
Excellent pumps for Aquascape, Savio or other brands of skimmers.

Body flukes (Gyrodactylus sp.) are a fairly common parasite found on pond fish. They do not lay eggs like gill flukes, instead they produce live young. They are found both on the gills and the body of fish.

Fall is ‘prime time’ for visits from herons. Starting in late summer, herons begin to migrate south where they spend the winter. They often make stops along the way in koi and goldfish ponds where your brightly coloured fish are easy targets.
