Helix External Pumps

The Helix External Pumps is made for koi ponds, external filters and low head waterfalls. It has quiet continuous duty, weatherproof motor that can be used outdoors without additional protection from weather. It is not self-priming pump. You must use in flooded suction applications or with check valve on suction line to maintain prime.

Since these pumps are not self-priming, It is recommended to add a Leaf Basket to the pump. The leaf basket will fulfill two purposes:  protecting the pump from large debris that may damage the pump, and it will keep water in the pump to maintain priming when the pump is shut-off.
