Blagdon Amphibious IQ Pump 4500 - 25w - Controllable Water Pump

Blagdon Amphibious IQ 2250–4500 is a controllable pond pump for feeding filters and waterfalls. Its controller lets you start, stop and adjust power and flow to suit your installation and seasonal requirements, rather than running at one fixed setting.

Understand the model and performance figures

This listing is for product 1056106, barcode 5015368056106. Blagdon calls this model “2250–4500”, while its specification table separately lists 4,900L/h flow, 15–25W variable power and 3m maximum pumping height. The model name should not be treated as a verified measured flow range.

Maximum head and the published flow figure are separate specifications, not a promise of 4,900L/h at a 3m lift. Check the pump's performance curve against your required lift, pipework and filter before selecting it.

Control and protection

• Power and flow adjustment: Use the controller buttons to start, stop, increase or decrease output.
• Motor protection: If a jam is detected, the pump pauses and displays a message to clean the impeller and rotor. Resolve the obstruction before restarting in accordance with the instructions.
• Run-dry protection: The pump pauses and displays a low-water warning when it detects insufficient water. Restore the correct operating conditions before restarting.
• Soft start: Flow increases gradually to the preset position, reducing start-up stress on connected pipework and filters.

The intake cage has openings distributed around it to help maintain intake flow if debris partly obstructs one area. A clear impeller housing helps you inspect for blockages or damage. These features do not remove the need for regular cleaning.

Included equipment and installation

Blagdon lists the pump, controller, hose tails and fittings as supplied. Confirm the exact fitting sizes and quantities against your plumbing before ordering. The manufacturer lists a separate external-run kit to convert the pump for non-submersible operation; do not assume that conversion kit is included.

The cited manufacturer information is UK-specific. Confirm the Australian unit's rating label, supplied plug and electrical installation requirements before use rather than applying UK plug statements to this pack.

Energy-use claim

Blagdon describes its digital motor technology as using around 30% less energy than similarly priced pumps. This is the manufacturer's comparison, not a guaranteed saving against every pump or installation. Actual consumption depends on the selected operating setting.
