It is the most powerful external pump in the Aquascape range for single-phase power sites, and it serves large koi pond and professional water feature installations that require continuous high-volume circulation beyond the capacity of submersible pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Head, High-Volume External Pumping on Single-Phase Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ext 18000's 13.7 m (45 ft) maximum head height is exceptional for a pump of its flow class, making it suitable not only for high-volume low-head installations but also for tall waterfall features and installations where significant pipe friction losses must be overcome. Single-phase operation means it can be used on any standard 115V or 230V residential or commercial power supply without requiring three-phase infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Flow Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18,400 GPH (69,638 LPH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Head Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.7 m (45 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,300 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTEFC (oil-free, fan-cooled)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 V or 230 V single-phase (field-selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.6 cm (3 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDischarge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 cm (2 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal (non-submersible)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount on a stable level surface below the pond water level. Connect the 3-inch inlet from the pond through a full-port valve and debris strainer. Connect the 2-inch discharge to the distribution system plumbing. Prime the pump before start-up. Connect to a suitably rated GFCI-protected outlet with correct gauge supply wiring for the amperage draw. For 230V operation, field-configure the motor per the motor nameplate and wiring diagram in the pump manual. Service the mechanical seal oil annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for very large koi ponds above 30,000 litres (8,000 gal), large professional pondless systems, commercial water feature installations, and waterfalls with significant head height requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquascape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698351403327,"sku":"AQ-45050","price":4208.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/aquascape-external-pumps-default-title-aquascape-ext-18000-pond-pump-43287375216959.webp?v=1776379215","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/aquascape-ext-18000-pond-pump","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
