The unique design of the Force Hybrid provides two switchable options, adjusting the intake of the pump to either ‘sludge removal’ or ‘multipurpose’. The multipurpose mode draws water through the whole of the cage, offering low intake speeds over a high surface area, which is ideal for watercourses and waterfalls. By switching to sludge removal mode, the intake of the pump is directed towards the floor of the pond, and will suck up solids of up to 8mm, making it ideal for filter systems.
