Atlantic Tidal Wave Pump (TT-Series)
Asynchronous Pump Technology for Maximum Efficiency
The Atlantic Tidal Wave TT-Series Pump combines the energy efficiency of magnetic induction with the power of direct drive geometry, delivering exceptional flow rates while minimizing operating costs. This innovative asynchronous design pumps more water per watt than conventional pumps, making it the ideal choice for water gardens, ponds, waterfalls, and continuously operated water features where energy consumption directly impacts long-term ownership costs.
Available in eight flow capacities from 1,500 to 9,000 gallons per hour, the TT-Series provides precise pump sizing for applications ranging from small decorative fountains to large estate waterfalls and commercial water features. The compact design, superior clog resistance, and hard water durability ensure reliable performance in demanding real-world conditions.
Energy-Efficient Asynchronous Motor Design
The TT-Series asynchronous motor technology represents a significant advancement in pump efficiency. By combining magnetic induction principles with direct drive geometry, these pumps achieve higher flow rates while consuming fewer watts compared to traditional synchronous or direct drive pumps. This efficiency translates directly to lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact, particularly important for pumps operating 24/7 throughout the season.
The energy savings compound over time, making the TT-Series an economically sound choice for both new installations and pump replacements where reducing operating costs is a priority.
Compact Design for Tight Installations
The TT-Series compact footprint fits into the tightest pump chambers, skimmer boxes, and vault systems where space is at a premium. This low-profile design is particularly valuable for vertical installations, multiple pump configurations, and retrofit applications where existing infrastructure limits pump size. Despite the compact dimensions, the TT-Series delivers flow rates comparable to much larger conventional pumps.
Superior Clog Resistance
The pre-filter and handle feature ribs and large openings that provide tremendous surface area for superior clog resistance. This design allows debris to pass through or be easily removed during routine maintenance, decreasing upkeep frequency and extending pump life. The excellent resistance to fouling in hard water environments ensures consistent performance even in challenging water chemistry conditions that would degrade conventional pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine which flow capacity I need?
A: Flow requirements depend on your application. For waterfalls, calculate the desired flow rate based on spillway width (typically 100-200 GPH per inch of width). For ponds, consider total volume and desired turnover rate. For streams, factor in length and desired current. Consult sizing guides or a water feature professional for specific recommendations.
Q: What does "asynchronous" mean and why does it matter?
A: Asynchronous refers to the motor design that combines magnetic induction with direct drive geometry. This technology delivers higher efficiency (more flow per watt) compared to conventional synchronous or standard direct drive pumps, reducing your electricity costs.
Q: Can I use the TT-Series for both ponds and waterfalls?
A: Yes. The TT-Series is versatile and suitable for ponds, waterfalls, streams, fountains, and any water feature requiring continuous circulation. Select the flow capacity based on your specific application requirements.
Q: How often do I need to clean the pre-filter?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on debris load in your pond. The large openings and ribbed design resist clogging, but periodic inspection and cleaning (typically monthly during peak season) ensures optimal performance. The simple maintenance design makes cleaning quick and easy.
Q: Will the pump work in hard water?
A: Yes. The TT-Series features excellent resistance to fouling in hard water environments, maintaining performance in conditions that would degrade conventional pumps. Regular maintenance helps prevent mineral buildup.
Q: Can I run the pump continuously?
A: Yes. The TT-Series is specifically designed for continuous operation in water gardens and features that run 24/7. The energy-efficient design minimizes operating costs for always-on applications.
Q: What is the maximum head height for each model?
A: Maximum head height varies by model. Consult the detailed specifications or performance curves for your specific flow capacity to determine head height capabilities and flow rates at various elevations.
Q: Is the pump submersible or external?
A: The TT-Series is a submersible pump designed to operate fully submerged in water. It should not be run dry or used as an external pump.
