The Hozelock Titan

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

The Hozelock Titan is an excellent pump, ideal for waterfalls and filtration. The Hozelock Titan will pump high volumes of water in continuous use without clogging.
The Titan range will run continuously without clogging and handle solids up 8mm (8mm with the 5500 and 8000 and 4mm with the 2000 and 3000).

 

The Titan range have large intake slots in the base of the pump which encourage the pump to collect solids from the floor of the pond. All Titans have unidirectional rotation to maximise pumping efficiency, with open impellors to provide the solids handling capability. The Titan 2000 and 3000 use the same motors as the mid range Cascades providing unparalleled performance with low running costs. The larger Titans use heavy asynchronous motors, these use stainless steel rotor sleeving to increases magnetic coupling for maximum performance.

 

Titans also feature a Wildlife Protection System WPS, there is a lever on the side of the pump which can be used to adjust the size of the intake slots, these can be adjusted down to 2mm, to prevent young fish or wildlife getting sucked into the impellor.

 

The outlet (20-40mm) of all Titans feature a ball joint which allows the hose to be positioned more freely, other features include tool free access, and extra secure locking catches to keep the cage held firmly together. All Hozelock Titan pumps are guaranteed for 3 years.

The Hozelock Easyclear

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

The Hozelock Easyclear is an excellent pond filter and is suited to small ornamental ponds no larger than 4000 litres, there are two versions the Easyclear 6000, 4 in 1 (for ponds up to 4000 litres) and the Easyclear 3000, 3 in 1 (for ponds up to 2000 litres), these were formally called the Easyclear 4000 and Easyclear 2000, but where re-branded 6000 and 3000 in January 2007.

The beauty of these products is that they offer an all in one in pond solution, all you need is get the unit drop it into your pond and switch it on. Aesthetically the unit looks good because it sits in your pond you have no filter boxes and pipe-work to conceal and hide!What does the 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 bit mean?

Well the 3 in 1 is a UVC (5 Watt PLS bulb), a Filter (Sponge) and a Fountain in 1 unit, the 4 in 1 is a UVC (9W PLS bulb), a Filter (Sponge), a fountain, and has an outlet to provide a small Waterfall.

Both units have useful features such as a ball joint for easy levelling of the fountain head, feet for stability, fountain stem extension pieces for varying pond depths, 3 fountain heads (2 Tier, 3 Tier and Bell), Flow control to adjust the size of the fountain, and a flow control to adjust the waterfall (4 in1 only, outlet size 25mm).

Maintenance is simple by pressing the 2 grey buttons on the front of the unit the lid lifts up allowing removal of the sponge for easy cleaning, annually the UV bulb, quartz sleeve and sponge should be replaced with new units, this will ensure the unit operates and runs smoothly for many years. It is worthwhile removing the impellor and cleaning any debris from inside its housing periodically too.
