Sicce Syncrapond Pump

This earthed pump keeps debris out of its impellor and outlets by filtering pond or fountain water in three stages, from an external grid down to a fine internal mesh. You can adjust fountain height yourself using the built-in telescopic tube, and control flow to flexible hose with the diverter and T-valve if you're feeding a stream or waterfall. It's sold in six flow sizes, so you can match the pump to the pond or fountain you're actually running instead of settling for a single generic option.

Overview

The Sicce Syncrapond is an earthed pump that filters pond or fountain water in three stages, an external grid, a 10ppi biological sponge, and a fine internal grid, before it reaches the outlet. That reduces the amount of debris and fine sediment reaching the impellor and any narrow fountain jets, cutting down on clogging. It's built for use in ponds and in indoor or outdoor fountains, and it's supplied with fittings for a variety of fountain outlets, a telescopic tube, a diverter and a T-valve, so it's ready to set up a fountain jet or route flow out to flexible hose for a stream or waterfall.

Key benefits

• Earthed, for use in ponds and indoor or outdoor fountains
• Three-stage filtration reduces debris reaching the pump and its outlets
• Telescopic tube adjusts fountain height without extra parts
• Diverter and T-valve regulate flow when running flexible hose
• Six flow sizes to match different pond and fountain set-ups
• Fittings for a variety of fountain outlets included

Choosing your size

Sizes range from 0.5 up to 4.0, and flow rate broadly rises with the model number, but not in a straight line: the 3.5 model is actually rated below the 3.0 that precedes it, so it's worth comparing the specific figures rather than assuming a higher number always means more flow. Match the flow rate to your setup's needs, since that matters more than the model number on its own.

Filtration and flow control

Water passes through an external grid to stop larger debris, a 10ppi sponge that handles biological filtration, and a fine internal grid that catches smaller particles, before it's pushed out to the fountain head or hose. This same tube extends or retracts to change how high a fountain jet sprays, while the included valve set lets you split and regulate flow if you're feeding flexible hose instead, for a small stream or waterfall.
