1800 Model

I purchased the Blagdon 1800 for my small pond, it came with a very long cable, but as appears to be the law in this country I had to fit my own mains electric connector. Primarily I use the Blagdon to aerate a 50 gallon fluidised bed with media. It is powerful and quiet in operation and I have made a protective shelter for it to stand in as outside by my pond, without protecting it did suck in dampness which was evident in the air lines. I uses all six of the oygenator air lines to aerated the fluidised bed and this it does with ease, and I am delighted with the results. Blagdon even supply spare parts, and seasonal service kits should you need them, so I anticipate having some years use. Overall a compact and powerful oxygenator/air pump.

Great pump producing a high capacity air flow. Just write for my 500 gallon pond. Very pleased I spent a little extra on a proper external model. Very pleased.

This has been absolutely brilliant in the hot weather. After losing 2 very prized fish in my pond during the first heatwave, I was in need of something urgently. I quickly scanned the reviews and went for this 1800 version with 6 air stones. I've had the one's with 2 air stones, which do the job on a small pond, these you could instantly see the air being produced in the water. No problems during the 2nd heatwave. I kept it on all night when the plants stop giving off oxygen and put it on periodically during the hottest day during the day. IMPORTANT: The air stones and 5mm pipe have to be ordered separately, but don't let it put you off. Definitely would buy again.

A great bit of kit! Does as it says! SO much quieter than the one it replaces and much better is waterproof so can be left uncovered. Feels heavy and well built. Almost silent in operation! Paired it with black singing air pipe as there’s nothing worse than floating white ones! We have happy Koi again! 🐟 A great buy!

Powerful air pump, heavier than anticipated, but sits firmly at side of pond. Produces plenty of bubbles to pond .deducted a star as no plug, pipes or air stones

Very impressed with this little air pump. I bought it to replace a very old but powerful 2800 Hozelock air pump that had failed. This one is about half the size and very quiet. I guess the only slight downside is that it doesn’t have taps on the valve outlets so you can’t turn the air up or down but could possibly retrofit something. All in all, I’m very happy with it and it’s performing well and the fish love it.

Excellent pump and very quiet

My pond is 5,000 litres so I purchased the basic 1800 model, which is rated for 10,000 lites ( or 5,000 if you have Koi, which I don't), so it was massively overrated for what I needed. That said, it was just about the only one I could find that was totally weatherproof. I declined the option to buy air stones and tubing with the order and instead went to my local aquarian to get advice. In the end I opted for 50mm air stone balls, some decent tubing that won't go brittle in winter and some inexpensive one-way valves on each airline as a precaution against a power failure, which can occasionally a pressure differential to syphon water up into the pump. I only use 4 of the 6 outlet points and the surface of my pond now has a healthy amount of movement. Within days the water was so much clearer, the fish became much more active and my pond plants thrived, particularly the lily pads and the water mint. Despite it having rubber feet, the pump can resonate on the wrong surface. I placed mine on a small slab on top of a shallow mound of loose sand/earth mix, which seems to absorb everything and I can barely hear a thing. Really happy with this pump, my pond looks so much healthier and I would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent quality and does the job perfectly

Bello potente e molto resistente Sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto Peccato che non ci sono i tubetti e le pietre porose visto il costo … Comunque lo consiglio 👍
