FlowFriend Pond Pump
The Flowfriend Pump is way ahead of it's time in the field of energy efficient water pumps. The Flowfriend pump gives you the maximum flow with the minimum of running costs.
The Flowfriend motor is a premium-efficiency motor IE4. The Flow friend Pump meets the latest energy requirements from 2015 what will be required in the industry. The engine is fully developed and manufactured in Germany. The flow is adjustable by speed (800-2550 rpm). For controlling the pump, there is atouch screen display on the unit, where the power, speed and hours are shown and can be adjusted.
The Flowfriend pump is a highly efficient, new generation permanent magnet motor, its made from the highest quality components available in Germany. An ingenious and optimised hydraulics, fully stainless steel 316 casing. The FlowFriend pump is optimally adapted to the pond and season by the speed contol Permanent Magnet motor (PMSM)
The main advantage of permanent magnet motors compared to a frequency controlled a-synchronous motors is the remarkably high efficiency at low rpm. However, even in the higher rpm range, they are significantly more economical to run.
Ingenious hydraulics
The hydraulic’s of the pump includes a pump impeller and the pump head. The hydraulic system provides a significant component to the overall efficiency of the pump tayloring it to the type application the pump is to be used. The FlowFriends pump hydraulics are specially designed for high flow at low pressure, It's optimal application is between 0 and 5 meters head. There is more pressure available than a propeller pump, which in some pressure piping installations is unsuitable.

The Flowfriend pumps with much more pressure than comparable pumps with maximum m3. Almost all pumps are available with larger capacities (watts), have more than 10 meters head. This is very much at the expense of the available flow (number m3). This pressure is a for a good pond completely unnecessary
FlowFriend Pond Pumps Usages:
- Drum Filters
- Bakki Showers
- SuperBead Filters
- Multichamber Systems
- Endless Belt Filter
- Waterfalls
- Moving Bed Filters
- Tricklefilters
The hydraulics of the FlowFriend is fully cast in stainless steel 316. Robust, smooth and a perfect shape for minimal internal losses. Thus, the Flow friend has 3 “(90mm) inlet and outlet. The allowable size of particles is less than 15 mm.
FlowFriend Pump Results:
The result of the pump is best displayed in the charts pump. The pump was tested at a test facility that meets the following standards: BS EN ISO 9906.
The test bench and the prototype was shown during the Interkoi April this year in Germany. The flow test bench and production Flowfriends will to be showed during the Koishow in Arcen.
Not only is the flow/pressure characteristic shown, but also a so-called Power Curve. Here you can at any point to the graph and also see the exact energy that the pump will consume, See above specifications.
FlowFriend Pumps are a dry mounted pump to pump fresh water, The Flowfriend pumps have been specially designed to pump large amounts of water in the head range between 0 and 5 meters.
Note on Installation:
FlowFriend pumps are not designed to be submersed and must be kept dry at all times. If you are placing one of these pumps in a underground filter house, please make sure that there is no way that the pump can get flooded, if the pump is submerged in water and damaged as a result the warranty wil become null and void.
