General Product Information

Torpedo Pumps are the first pumps of their kind engineered to be powerful, high-flow/low profile pumps that are lightweight and water-cooled. Their unique flow-through water jacketing uses no oil and allows these pumps to be used in or out of water. Their durable, non-corrosive construction, their ease of installation and use, and their versatility make them the pump of choice for many high-flow applications. These pumps operate in fresh or salt water environments. Perfect for ponds and water gardens, waterfalls and water displays, large irrigation systems, cooling and air conditioning systems, and high-volume re-circulation systems.
 
Product Features
 
Unique flow-through water cooling - uses no oil for environmental safety
20' power cord for convenience (Torpedo T1500 and T4000)
40' power cord for convenience (Torpedo T7500 and T10000)
Non-corrosive construction for longevity
High-flow output powers large biofilters, waterfalls and water displays
Large intake and discharge for better flow
Use in or out of water
Suitable for salt water applications
Convenient stainless steel handle for easy installation and service
Sits upright in large skimmers using an optional filter basket
Priming pot is available for above water level installation
 
Torpedo Pump Sizing

Continuous operation of these pumps in a pond or waterfall requires that the pump be sized for each specific installation. Pumps last longer and use less electricity when operated in the mid-range of their performance curve (see charts below). To calculate this, measure the height in feet from the surface of the pond water to the point where the water returns to the pond (perhaps a waterfall spillway). Add one (1) foot for every 90 degree elbow through which the water passes from the pump to the point of return. Add one (1) foot for every ten (10) foot length of tubing. This will provide the total height that the pump must move the water. Locate that height in feet on the vertical axis of the charts below and read to he right until you intersect the dotted red line. It is best to operate the pump in the head height shown by the green area. If the lines intersect too far to the left of the graph you must choose a larger pump. If they intersect too far to he right you may either choose a smaller pump or install a ball valve at the discharge of the pump. By slightly closing the ball valve, never more than one third, you will create additional back-pressure on the pump that will allow it to operate correctly in the mid-range of its performance curve. Proper sizing of the pump to your specific installation will ensure optimal performance and maximum pump life.

Thermopond 3.0 Pond Deicer

ONLY $ 79.98

I wanted to mention that the floating de-icer I bought from you guys a couple years ago works like a charm. My pond is only about a foot deep, but with the de-icer my fish overwinter in the pond! Great purchase.
Thanks again,
Michaela, Dundas, ON

Just a quick note, the heaters I purchased last year worked great, we had the coldest winter on record for the past 30 years, the two heaters kept the water open. Pretty good heaters!!!
Barry, Calgary, AB

Pond heater arrived fast and works like a charm even in -30C wind chill.
Gord, Ottawa, ON

I did receive my Thermo Pond Deicer very promptly and immediately put it into my pond.  Within hours it had made a hole in the ice and the fish were swimming around the outside and seemed to be enjoying themselves just like they had a hot tub!!!!  Thanks again for the exceptional service and competitive pricing.
Cathy, Ailsa Craig, ON

PONTEC Marathon Pumps

STARTING AT ONLY $ 49.98

I received the Pontec Marathon 650 and hose kit yesterday and have installed it already - quite as expected (it's quite a 'gusher', I like the wrap-around cage to screen out large debris, and also the thermal overload protection) and I appreciate the fast service and low price.  Around here, much smaller capacity pumps alone cost much more - and with you I got the hose too!
Mike, Ridgetown, ON

I couldn't be more pleased. The pump (Pontec Marathon 800) is exactly what I needed. It arrived in only 2 days which is excellent delivery by any standards. I am delighted with your service and I will recommend you folks to everyone in search of pond products. Take a bow!

I've dealt with you folks on at least two previous occasions, and each time the service quality including concern resolution has been the best it could be. Thanks again so much for the extraordinary service....you certainly have gained my loyalty. I'll be back and hopefully the transactions will be much more straight forward in future. God don't make better pond people! Kindest regards,
John, Cranbrook, BC
