Product description
Atlantic-Oase PAF-Series Direct Drive Pumps are the perfect solution for demanding medium-head, high-volume water features. Engineered for versatility, these pumps feature a removable intake screen that allows them to switch from clean-water skimmer applications to handling solids up to 1.25 inches in diameter. Available in sizes ranging from 1/4 HP to 1 HP, the PAF-Series utilizes energy-efficient motors, fiber-reinforced vortex impellers, and double silicone-carbide mechanical seals to ensure dependable, continuous-duty performance in any pond environment.
Advanced Hybrid Construction
The PAF-Series is built using a sophisticated combination of stainless steel and high-impact FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) composite. This design makes the pumps exceptionally rugged yet lightweight, allowing for easier servicing and a longer operational life compared to traditional all-metal pumps. The fiber-reinforced vortex impeller is specifically designed to resist wear while maintaining high-volume flow even when debris is present.
Versatile Dual-Service Design
Whether you are running a skimmer or a pond filtration system, the PAF-Series adapts to your needs. With the intake screen attached, it provides superior protection for clean-water applications. Removing the screen instantly converts the pump into a solids-handling powerhouse, capable of moving debris up to 1.25" without clogging. This flexibility makes it an essential component for residential and commercial water features alike.
Safety and Reliability
Equipped with built-in overload and thermal protection, these pumps are designed to shut down automatically before overheating can cause damage. The double silicone-carbide mechanical seals provide an industrial-grade barrier against leaks, while the 20-foot heavy-duty power cord and cSAus safety listing ensure a safe and professional installation.

To maximize the life of your solids-handling pump, clean the intake screen regularly and mount the unit on a firm, level surface (such as a pump pad or flat stone) just below the waterline. This prevents the pump from burying itself in loose muck and avoids air locks, ensuring consistent high-volume circulation.
