High flow at low head
The right profile for pond exchange and circulation — big volumes moved at low energy per cubic metre, not the high-pressure/low-flow profile of a well pump.
Submersible Water Pump
Move and circulate pond water reliably — a submersible pond pump for aquaculture that handles water exchange, circulation, drainage and transfer, with high flow at low head, a solids-tolerant impeller and a continuous-duty motor for fresh and brackish farm water.
- Flow5–100+ m³/h
- Head5–20 m
- Power0.75–7.5 kW (1–10 HP)
- Duty24/7 continuous

Product Description
STP series is the most maturely swimming pool pump and is approved by customers. The pump casing applied an efficient structure design with the max flow, max head, and low noise. Cap and filter is easy to install and unload. The liquid part is made of high reinforce engineering plastic. Applied mechanical seal type ensures watertight in long-time continuous operation. The high reinforce engineering plastic base is vibration-resistance and corrosive-resistance. STP series is the preferred product for sand filters and swimming pools.
Advantage:
- Pressure boosting of medium or large SPA pool and cleaning system of jetted bathtubs, and spa pools.
- Water circulation in the fishery.
- Decorative pool, water display, water processing.
- Weak corrosive liquid (weak acid and weak alkali without solid granules. Liquid temperature: +5-60°C.

System composition
Solids-tolerant impeller
Open / semi-open impeller passes the suspended matter and light debris typical of farm water without clogging.
Continuous-duty motor
Fully sealed motor rated for 24/7 running — drop it in, connect the outlet, and it keeps pumping.
Corrosion-resistant builds
Cast iron, stainless steel or engineering-plastic bodies cover fresh and brackish duty; stainless models for seawater.
One pump, many jobs
Water exchange, circulation, drainage, transfer and filling from the same unit.
Full size range
From small pond circulation pumps to large transfer/drainage units, sized by flow (m³/h) and head (m).
Application
- Water exchange and circulation in ponds and lined tanks
- Water circulation in RAS and biofloc systems, alongside filtration and aeration
- Farm drainage, water transfer and pond filling
- Hatchery water intake and discharge
- Marine farms with the stainless-steel model option

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a submersible pump used for in aquaculture?
It handles water exchange, circulation, drainage and transfer — drop it in, connect the outlet, and it runs continuously for pond and tank duty.
Why not use a well pump for a pond?
Aquaculture needs high flow at low-to-medium head — large volumes of water moved with low energy per cubic metre — not the high-pressure / low-flow profile of a well pump.
Will the pump clog with pond debris?
A solids-tolerant impeller passes the suspended matter and light debris typical of farm water without clogging, and the sealed continuous-duty motor is rated for 24/7 running.
Can the pump be used in brackish or sea water?
Bodies are corrosion-resistant for fresh and brackish water, with cast-iron or stainless / engineering-plastic options; choose a stainless model for seawater.
