Hydroponic water pumps circulate nutrient solution through your system — keeping roots fed, oxygenated, and free from stagnation. Whether you're running a run-to-waste dripper setup, an NFT channel, or a recirculating system, reliable flow rate and pump longevity matter. Browse PondMAX submersible water pumps and reservoir management equipment below — all stocked locally and backed by a 2-year warranty.
PondMAX water pumps — Australian-owned, built for hydroponics
PondMAX is an Australian-owned brand engineered for Australian conditions. Their HP series submersible pumps feature ceramic shaft construction for long-term reliability, built-in flow adjusters for precise output control, and a 2-year warranty — making them a dependable choice for any system where pump failure means lost yield.
PondMAX HP850 — 850 L/H
The HP850 delivers 850 litres per hour, making it well suited to smaller recirculating systems, NFT channels, aeroponic propagators, and run-to-waste dripper setups with moderate nutrient tank volumes. The built-in flow adjuster lets you dial back output without restricting the pump motor, extending service life in lower-demand applications.
PondMAX HP1100 — 1050 L/H
The HP1100 steps up to 1050 litres per hour — the stronger choice for larger recirculating systems, multi-site drip setups, or any application where consistent high-volume flow is non-negotiable. Same ceramic shaft construction and flow adjuster as the HP850, with greater output headroom for demanding grows.
Choosing the right pump for your system
Flow rate and head height are the two key variables when selecting a submersible pump. Flow rate determines how quickly nutrient solution moves through your system; head height (the vertical distance the pump must push water) reduces effective flow as it increases. For most hobby NFT and drip systems, the HP850 is sufficient. Step up to the HP1100 for larger reservoirs, taller setups, or multi-zone recirculating systems.
Both pumps are submersible and suitable for continuous operation in nutrient solution — no modifications required for standard hydroponic use.
