CTP-3.800 pond pump - AquaForte

The AquaForte CTP-3.800 is a compact and energy-efficient pump for ponds, aquariums, and water circulation systems. With a maximum capacity of 3,600 litres per hour and a power consumption of just 20 watts, this pump is suitable for applications where water needs to be continuously moved without unnecessarily high power consumption.

The CTP-3.800 has a maximum lift height of 2.8 metres and can handle debris up to approximately 6 mm. This makes the pump suitable for water circulation and for transporting pond water to an external filter system, among other applications.

Capacity of 3,600 litres per hour

The maximum water output of the CTP-3.800 is 3,600 litres per hour. This capacity applies under minimum resistance. As soon as the water needs to be pumped upwards or flows through hoses, bends, and filter equipment, the actual capacity decreases.

When selecting a pond pump, it is therefore important to take the entire installation into account. The lift height and the diameter of the connected hose, in particular, have a major impact on the final water output.

Maximum lift height of 2.8 metres

The maximum lift height is 2.8 metres. This makes the pump suitable for smaller and medium-sized installations where a limited height difference needs to be bridged.

The maximum capacity of 3,600 l/h is not delivered at a lift height of 2.8 metres. As the lift height increases, the amount of water pumped decreases.

Power consumption of just 20 watts

With a power consumption of 20 watts, the CTP-3.800 is an energy-efficient choice for continuous water circulation.

This is particularly interesting for ponds, as a filter pump is often in operation 24 hours a day during the pond season. The ratio between the maximum water output of 3,600 l/h and the power consumption of 20 watts makes the CTP-3.800 suitable for situations where efficient water transport is important.

Handles debris up to 6 mm

The AquaForte CTP-3.800 can handle debris up to approximately 6 mm. This allows smaller pieces of debris to be carried with the pond water to a connected filter system.

The housing around the pump helps to stop larger contaminants before they reach the rotor. Regularly check the pump for leaves, filamentous algae, and other debris to keep the water flow unobstructed.

Ceramic shaft

The CTP-3.800 is equipped with a ceramic shaft. This material is wear-resistant and suitable for pumps that operate in water for extended periods.

The pump also features motor protection. Together with the energy-efficient design, this makes the CTP-3.800 suitable for long-term use in a pond or water system.

For ponds, filters, and aquariums

The CTP-3.800 can be used for various applications. In a pond, for example, the pump can be used to transport water to an external filter or to create additional water circulation.

The pump can also be used with suitable aquariums and filter tanks. For each application, it must be checked beforehand whether the capacity and lift height meet the desired water circulation.

The CTP-3.800 can also be used for small streams and water features. In this case, take the height difference and the desired amount of water at the end of the pipe into account.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps to maintain the pump's capacity. Check the outside and the rotor when the water output noticeably decreases.

Always completely switch off the power supply before removing or opening the pump. Remove accumulated debris and check whether the rotor can spin freely.

Also check the connected hoses and pipes. Contamination, kinks, or blockages can also significantly reduce the water output.
