Blagdon Auto Shut-Off Water Feature Pumps

Blagdon auto shut-off water feature pumps

This range adds automatic low-water protection to Blagdon’s compact outdoor feature-pump format. It is particularly useful in shallow reservoirs where evaporation, splashing or wind loss can expose an ordinary pump unexpectedly.

Feature pumps are often selected by headline flow alone, but the more useful questions are how high the water must be lifted, how narrow the internal pipework is and whether the pump will remain submerged throughout normal evaporation. We have put the verified model data together below so those choices are easier.

Use the pump for the job it was designed to do

The integrated auto shut-off function is intended to protect the pump if the water level becomes too low. It is useful insurance, but it should not replace correct siting, routine checks or keeping the reservoir topped up.

These compact pumps are intended for clean-water decorative features rather than dirty-water filtration duty. If the reservoir collects leaves, gravel or mulch, use a protective intake arrangement and clean it before the flow drops enough to affect the display.

Pipework, lift and real-world flow

Maximum flow is quoted with minimal resistance. A narrow hose, sharp elbow or raised spill point can reduce the delivered water considerably. Keep the pipe run short, use the supplied hose fittings where appropriate and avoid unnecessary restrictions. For a sheet waterfall or a feature with a broad outlet, calculate the required flow at the actual lift before ordering.

Routine care

• Keep the pump continuously submerged while running.
• Check the intake whenever the feature sounds different or the display weakens.
• Remove mineral deposits carefully in hard-water areas.
• Protect exposed pipework and the feature bowl during freezing weather.
• Isolate the outdoor supply before handling the pump.
