Anjon Variable Speed Pond Pump Control - 15 amps
Take Complete Control of Your Pond Pump Performance
The Anjon Variable Speed Pond Pump Control - 15 Amps gives you precise control over your pond pump's flow rate, allowing you to optimize filtration performance, minimize energy use, and customize your water feature's appearance and sound to match any occasion.
Compatible Pumps
Designed for use with Anjon Branded Eco Drive, Flood, and Monsoon Pumps.
Key Benefits
- Optimize Filtration Performance: Increase flow rate when algae growth peaks; reduce flow at nighttime or in cooler temperatures for efficient pond management
- Customize Your Experience: Increase or decrease waterfall flow and splashing sounds to match your mood—cranked up for a lively pond-side party or gentle flowing water for quiet, reflective times
- Precise Flow Control: Regulate water flow through UV clarifiers, fountains, bubbling boulders, and other water features
- Significant Energy Savings: Save energy by eliminating energy-wasting ball and gate valves that reduce water flow but do not cut pump speed or energy usage
- True Energy Efficiency: Unlike traditional valves that restrict flow while the pump runs at full power, variable speed control actually reduces pump speed and energy consumption

How It Works
The variable speed controller adjusts your pump's motor speed, which directly controls the flow rate. Unlike traditional ball or gate valves that create resistance and waste energy, this controller actually reduces the pump's power consumption when you lower the flow rate. This means real energy savings while giving you complete control over your water feature.
Practical Applications
Adjust flow rates throughout the day and seasons for optimal pond health and enjoyment. Run higher flow during hot summer days when oxygen demand is greatest, reduce flow at night when fish are less active, dial back during cooler months to save energy, or increase flow for weekend gatherings and special occasions. The variable speed control adapts to your pond's changing needs and your lifestyle.
Energy Savings Advantage
Traditional ball and gate valves create back-pressure that forces your pump to work harder while delivering less water—wasting energy and potentially damaging your pump. The variable speed controller actually slows the pump motor, reducing energy consumption proportionally with flow reduction. This can result in significant electricity savings over time, especially if you frequently run your pump at reduced speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Anjon pumps is this controller compatible with?
A: This controller works with Anjon Branded Eco Drive, Flood, and Monsoon Pumps. It supports pumps within the 500-6,100 GPH flow range and up to 15 amps.
Q: How is this different from using a ball valve to control flow?
A: Ball valves restrict water flow but the pump continues running at full speed, wasting energy. The variable speed controller actually reduces pump speed, cutting energy consumption while controlling flow—saving you money on electricity.
Q: Will this work with pumps from other brands?
A: This controller is designed specifically for Anjon Eco Drive, Flood, and Monsoon Pumps. Using it with other brands may not provide optimal performance or could damage the equipment.
Q: How much energy can I save?
A: Energy savings depend on how much you reduce the flow rate. Running your pump at 50% speed can reduce energy consumption by approximately 75%, resulting in significant electricity savings over time.
Q: Can I use this with a 15,000 GPH pump?
A: No, this controller is rated for pumps up to 15 amps and flow rates up to 6,100 GPH. Larger pumps exceed these specifications and require a different controller.
Q: Is it difficult to install?
A: Installation is straightforward. Simply plug your pump into the controller, then plug the controller into a GFCI-protected outlet. The dial allows you to adjust speed easily.
Q: Can I leave this outdoors?
A: The controller should be protected from direct exposure to rain and moisture. Install it in a weatherproof enclosure or sheltered location near your pond.
Q: Will reducing pump speed affect my filtration?
A: Yes, reducing flow will decrease filtration turnover rate. However, you can strategically adjust speed based on your pond's needs—higher during peak times, lower during off-hours—to balance filtration efficiency with energy savings.
