Atlantic Tidal Wave I Pumps
Build dramatic, high-volume water features with Atlantic Tidal Wave I Pumps (A-Series). Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron and precision stainless steel, these commercial-grade submersible waterfall pumps are built to survive the most demanding continuous-duty applications. Perfect for large backyard waterfalls, expansive backyard streams, and heavy biological filtration setups, the Tidal Wave I series delivers the massive water movement and high-head pressure performance professionals count on.
Atlantic Tidal Wave I (A-Series) Model Specifications
The Tidal Wave I lineup spans from 1/2 HP up to 2 HP. Because plumbing line size, discharge style, and voltage limits change dramatically across these high-volume units, please check your project configurations below:
- A-05 (1/2 HP): Pushes 3,165 GPH. Features a 2" Female NPT discharge outlet and operates on a standard 115V circuit. Great for medium-to-large home waterfalls.
- A-05L (1/2 HP - Low Head): High-volume, low-head optimization pushing a staggering 5,040 GPH at a 5' head. Features a 2" Female NPT discharge and operates on 115V.
- A-21 (1 HP): High-head performance pushing 5,811 GPH at a 5' head. Features a 3" Female NPT discharge connection and runs on a 115V setup.
- A-31 (1 HP): Massive flow model pushing 9,300 GPH at a 5' head. Features a 3" Female NPT discharge connection and operates on a 115V circuit.
- AN-32 (2 HP): The ultimate commercial powerhouse pushing 14,100 GPH at a 5' head. Features a 3" Female NPT discharge outlet and requires a dedicated 230V electrical line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Tidal Wave I series handle leaves and pond debris?
Yes. Atlantic A-Series pumps are equipped with precision-engineered cast iron vortex impellers and a heavy-duty intake screen mesh. They are semi-solids handling units that can easily pass small organic debris, muck, and leaves without clogging or causing mechanical motor failure, making them perfect for skimmer basins and pump vaults.
Are these cast iron and stainless steel pumps safe for fish?
Yes, completely. All Atlantic Tidal Wave I pumps use an oil-free, dual-mechanical seal design with permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. Because there is zero cooling oil or chemical lubricant used within the motor casing, there is absolutely no risk of toxic oil leaks polluting your water or harming your pond fish, koi, and live aquatic plants.
Do these pumps include thermal safety protection?
Yes. To protect your investment, every A-Series pump comes built with automatic thermal overload protection. If your pond water drops too low or an obstruction jams the impeller, the internal sensor will automatically cut power to prevent the motor from burning up, resetting itself once the unit cools back down to operational temps.
