Blagdon Amphibious IQ Pump 9000 - 60w - Controllable Water Pump

The Blagdon Amphibious IQ is a controllable pond pump for filters and waterfalls. This listing's product code 1056120 matches the manufacturer's Amphibious IQ 4500–9000 model, with variable 30–60W power and a published flow figure of 8,700L/hour. The 9000 model name should not be read as a guaranteed delivered flow.

Adjustable flow and power

The included controller lets you stop, start and increase or decrease power and flow to suit your filtration or waterfall setup. Soft start gradually increases flow to the preset setting, helping reduce sudden stress on the pump, pipework and connected filters.

Protection and maintenance features

• Motor protection pauses operation and displays a warning if the motor is clogged or jammed. Remove the blockage before restarting according to the instructions.
• Dry-run protection pauses the pump and displays a low-water warning. Restore the water supply before restarting according to the instructions.
• The intake casing has openings around it to distribute water entry, and Blagdon describes the pump as suitable for different orientations while in the pond.
• A clear impeller housing helps with visual inspection for blockage or damage.

Choose for your installation

Blagdon lists a maximum pumping height of 4.5m. The published flow and maximum height are separate performance figures, not a promise of 8,700L/hour at a 4.5m lift. Confirm the flow available at your intended lift and through your pipework and filter before purchasing. A verified model-specific flow curve has not been added here.

The manufacturer offers a separate external-run conversion kit for non-submersible use. Do not assume the standard pack includes that kit. Exact pump dimensions, cable length, supplied hose-tail sizes and Australian plug arrangement should be confirmed against the local pack.

Pack contents

Blagdon lists the pump, controller, hose tails and fittings. Its compatible replacement stepped hose-tail accessory offers ¾-inch, 1-inch, 1¼-inch and 1½-inch steps; this accessory listing does not confirm the exact fittings supplied in the Australian pack.

Blagdon advertises a three-year guarantee; confirm the terms applicable to the Australian-supplied product. Its UK product page lists 230V / 50Hz and UK-specific plug information, which does not establish the Australian pack's electrical configuration. Follow the local rating label and supplied installation instructions. Arrange appropriate disposal of electrical equipment.

Blagdon also advertises around 30% lower energy consumption than similarly priced pumps, but does not identify the comparison models on its product page. Actual savings depend on the comparison pump and operating setting; no fixed saving is promised here.
