The PondMax EV series is a family of low-wattage skimmer and water feature pumps: an anti-clog impeller that shrugs off the debris a skimmer feeds it, SMART MAG built-in motor protection, and running costs low enough to forget about. Seven sizes from 700 to 3,600 GPH.
Pick your model
Size by the flow you need at your head height — the vertical distance from the pump to the top of the falls or feature. Flow falls as head rises.

| EV700 | 700 GPH | 10 ft | 23 W | 1" | #30 kit |
| EV900 | 900 GPH | 14 ft | 32 W | 1" | #40 kit |

| EV2400 | 2,400 GPH | 20 ft | 100 W | 1-1/2" | — |
| EV3000 | 3,000 GPH | 21 ft | 125 W | 1-1/2" | — |
| EV3600 | 3,600 GPH | 21 ft | 160 W | 1-1/2" | — |

Features
- Anti-clog impeller design — built to live in a skimmer basket's debris stream without jamming.
- SMART MAG motor protection shuts the pump down before a blockage or dry run cooks it.
- Extremely energy efficient — the EV700 moves 700 GPH on 23 watts, less than most porch lights.
- Submersible or external. The threaded intake accepts an optional prefilter, or plumbs directly for running the pump outside the pond.
- Range of adapters included; fountain kits for the three smaller models sold separately.
- Freshwater applications.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
ChampKoi has kept koi ponds and water features running from our San Jose, California facility since 1998. Tell us your head height and skimmer model and we'll confirm the size — an EV pump that's one size up from "just enough" is the one that still performs when the falls get longer next year.
