Description
The Aquascape Ultra 2000 Water Pump (SKU 91010) is the top model in Aquascape’s Ultra series — a mag-drive submersible pump rated at 1,982 GPH maximum flow with a 20-foot maximum head. Drawing 250 watts on a 25-foot cord, the Ultra 2000 is sized for medium ponds, multi-tier waterfalls, external filtration systems, and decorative fountain features needing reliable high-volume circulation.
Every Ultra 2000 ships as a complete installation kit: an included 3-way diverter valve splits flow between a waterfall and fountain display, the threaded elbow routes the discharge, and multi-size hose fittings connect to 3/4”, 1”, or 1.25” tubing without additional parts. The locking pre-filter cage protects the impeller and releases tool-free for cleaning. Backed by a 3-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary applications for the Aquascape Ultra 2000?
The Aquascape Ultra 2000 (SKU 91010) is a submersible mag-drive pump ideal for:
- Medium pond circulation — 1,982 GPH max flow for ponds up to approximately 2,000 gallons
- Waterfalls and streams — 20-foot maximum head accommodates most residential waterfall heights
- External pond filters — reliable steady flow for external bead filters and pressurized filtration systems
- Fountain and spitter features — the included 3-way valve splits flow between a waterfall and a decorative display simultaneously
Note: the Ultra 2000 is submersible-only and is not rated for external or inline dry-installation use.
How does mag-drive technology benefit my pond?
Mag-drive (magnetic-drive) technology couples the impeller to the motor using opposing magnets rather than a direct shaft. Key advantages:
- 100% oil-free — no shaft seals, no risk of oil contamination in pond water. Completely safe for koi, goldfish, and all aquatic life from day one
- Longer service life — shaft seal wear is the most common cause of direct-drive pump failure; mag-drive eliminates this failure mode entirely
- Energy efficiency — at 250 watts for 1,982 GPH, the Ultra 2000 delivers approximately 7.9 GPH per watt, competitive for this flow class
- Simple maintenance — impeller removal and cleaning is tool-free and takes under five minutes
Is the Ultra 2000 easy to maintain?
Yes. The locking pre-filter cage releases with a simple twist to expose the foam filter pad and impeller housing. To maintain:
- Twist off the locking cage and rinse the foam pad in pond water (not tap water, to preserve beneficial bacteria)
- Remove the impeller housing and clean the impeller and shaft with a soft brush and mild white vinegar to remove scale buildup
- Rinse thoroughly and reassemble before returning to service
Replacement impeller kits and foam pads are available from Aquascape. Impeller cleaning is the primary maintenance task for mag-drive pumps — scale buildup on the magnetic impeller reduces efficiency and is the most common cause of reduced flow over time.
What size tubing is compatible with this pump?
The Ultra 2000 includes a multi-hose fitting compatible with 3/4”, 1”, and 1.25” tubing (flexible PVC or kink-free). The pump comes with the threaded elbow and 3-way diverter valve, making it directly compatible with virtually any standard pond plumbing configuration. For maximum flow efficiency at 1,982 GPH, use the largest practical pipe diameter (1.25” or larger) with minimal elbows on the discharge side.
Can I adjust the water flow on this pump?
Yes, in two ways:
- 3-way diverter valve (included) — splits flow between two outputs and allows independent adjustment of each. Close one port completely to direct all flow to a single destination, or balance between a waterfall and fountain display
- Ball valve (sold separately) — a standard inline ball valve can be added to the discharge line to throttle total flow, useful when the maximum output is too strong for a smaller feature
Note: restricting a mag-drive pump’s output with a valve increases back-pressure on the impeller and motor. Avoid running the pump against a fully closed valve for extended periods.
