Oase Aquarius Universal Classic Feature Pump

This compact pump keeps drawing water even from shallow trays and bowls, so tabletop statues and small fountains stay running without needing a deep reservoir underneath. It runs quietly enough that the water itself is what you hear, and the flow nozzle on top lets you turn the output up or down by hand until it looks right. It comes in six sizes, so you can match the flow to the fountain or ornament you're running, indoors or out.

Overview

The Aquarius Universal Classic is a submersible pump designed for statue and ornamental fountains, built to draw water even where the level around the intake is shallow, so it keeps a feature running without needing a deep sump beneath it. It runs smoothly enough that the water moving is the main thing you notice, and a suction and regulation nozzle on the pump lets you wind the flow rate up or down by hand rather than fitting extra valves. Every size in the range has thermal protection built in.

Key benefits

• Keeps drawing water from shallow trays and bowls, so a deep reservoir isn't needed underneath the feature
• Quiet running, so the motor doesn't compete with the sound of the water
• Hand-adjustable suction and regulation nozzle for setting the flow rate
• Thermal protection included across the whole range
• Six sizes to match different fountains and ornaments

Choosing your size

The model number matches the maximum flow rate in litres per hour for the 440 through to the 2000, so a bigger number means more flow for a bigger display. The 3000 sits above that as the largest option in the range. Full power consumption and maximum head height figures are confirmed only for the 440 model, shown in the specifications table below, so check the size notes for what's confirmed on the larger models before ordering.

Where you can use it

This pump works indoors or outdoors, so it suits a tabletop water feature as easily as a garden ornament, and it sits directly in the water it's moving rather than needing separate plumbing.
