The APP Pumps TP Series is a range of submersible water pumps designed for continuous 24-hour operation. These reliable pumps are particularly well suited to fish ponds, koi ponds, waterfalls, decorative water features and general water circulation, as well as light sump and drainage duties.
Operating from a standard 230V single-phase power supply, the TP Series provides a practical solution where a pump needs to run continuously rather than for short, intermittent periods.
The APP TP Series is an excellent choice for continuous pond circulation because it is purpose-built for 24-hour operation. Its 200W motor can deliver up to 140 litres per minute, making it suitable for maintaining circulation within fish ponds, koi ponds, waterfalls and decorative water features.
The correct pump should always be selected according to the required flow at the actual pumping height, rather than its maximum flow rate alone.
The principal difference between the TP and TPV models is their solids-handling capability.
For relatively clean pond water and normal fish waste, the TP is usually sufficient. Where the water contains more vegetation or larger soft solids, the TPV may be the better option.
The automatic TPS-200SA and TPV-200SA have a pendant float switch that starts the pump at approximately 430mm of water and stops it at approximately 190mm. The manual S versions have no float and run whenever powered, which suits continuous circulation.
Yes. The APP TP Series can be used to supply garden waterfalls, cascades and decorative water features. It provides a maximum flow rate of up to 140 litres per minute and a maximum head of 7 metres.
Actual flow will reduce as the vertical pumping height, hose length and resistance within the pipework increase. The pump curve should therefore be checked where a specific waterfall flow or lift is required.
Yes. The APP TP is designed for freshwater pond circulation and can handle soft solids such as normal fish waste. Its mechanical seal is housed within a chamber containing non-toxic oil, making the pump particularly suitable for fish ponds, koi ponds and similar freshwater environments.
The pump should still be installed in a suitable position and protected from larger leaves, stones or debris that exceed its stated solids capacity.
Yes. The APP TP Series is specifically designed for continuous, 24-hour operation. Heavy-duty bearings, a stainless-steel shaft and a silicon carbide mechanical seal provide the durability required for prolonged use.
This makes the TP Series suitable for pond circulation and water features where the pump may need to remain running throughout the day and night.
The TP Series is carefully constructed for reliable continuous use. Heavy-duty bearings and a robust silicon carbide mechanical seal, housed within a chamber filled with non-toxic oil, provide dependable performance during prolonged operation.
A stainless-steel shaft provides strength and corrosion resistance, while the pump body and motor casing are manufactured from high-quality thermoplastic. This makes the pump resistant to corrosion in freshwater ponds, sumps and water-feature installations.
The APP Pumps TP Series is a strong choice for customers who need a dependable submersible pump that can be installed and left running continuously.
The APP TP Series uses a 200W motor. When operated continuously for 24 hours, it consumes approximately 4.8kWh of electricity.
At an electricity rate of 23.5p per kWh, this would cost approximately £1.13 per day. Actual running costs will depend on your electricity tariff and how long the pump operates each day.
Pond Aeration helps improve water quality, and dissolved oxygen levels, which reduces pond muck and fish deaths.
A water pump is an excellent way of aerating a pond.
