The Ocean Mist Turtle Pumps are compact, energy efficient and powerful. Comparable to the Aquascape AquaForce pump, these pumps are able to handle debris up to 1/4 inch in diameter. These pumps include a heavy-duty filter screen over the intake to prevent clogging from larger particulates. The Turtle Pumps feature an incredibly energy-efficient asynchronous motor, which allows these pumps to be very inexpensive to run. They also feature a ceramic impeller shaft that is wear-proof for higher performance and a longer operational lifespan. The turtle shape makes these pumps an excellent choice for a shallow pond, but they can be used in just about any water garden project. These pumps each feature a 24 ft. power cord and are backed by a 1-year warranty. .
