Seasonal Flow Control (SFC):

This patented feature automatically adjusts pump performance based on water temperature. As water cools in fall and winter, fish metabolism slows and they need less filtration. SFC reduces flow and energy consumption by up to 50%, saving electricity while maintaining adequate filtration. In spring, flow automatically increases as water warms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) save energy?
A: SFC automatically monitors water temperature and adjusts pump performance accordingly. As water cools in fall and winter, the pump reduces flow by up to 50%, which also cuts energy consumption by up to 50%. This makes sense because fish are less active in cold water and produce less waste, so you don't need as much filtration. In spring, as water warms, SFC automatically increases flow back to full capacity. This intelligent feature can save significant money on electricity over the course of a year.

Q: What can I connect to the secondary intake port?
A: The secondary intake port is designed to connect to an OASE skimmer (like the AquaSkim) or an auxiliary intake line. This allows you to pull water from two locations simultaneously—for example, from the pond bottom (main intake) and the surface (skimmer). This dual-intake capability gives you better overall pond circulation and debris removal without needing a second pump.

Q: Can I leave this pump in my pond all winter?
A: Yes! The patented frost protection safeguards the pump down to -4°F, so you can leave it in place all winter. However, you should turn off the pump during freezing weather to prevent ice damage to plumbing and features. The Seasonal Flow Control will have already reduced energy consumption significantly as temperatures dropped. When spring arrives, simply turn the pump back on—the frost protection prevents internal damage during cold storage in the pond.
