About AquaForte O Plus 20.000
The AquaForte O Plus 20.000 (model O-20000 Plus, RD718) is a submersible pond/feature pump from the O‑Plus series. AquaForte lists this model with a maximum flow of 19 m³/h (19,000 L/h), a maximum head of 7.0 m and a rated electrical consumption of 200 W. The pump is intended for submerged applications and may also be installed outside the pond provided it remains below the water level; the manufacturer explicitly warns that the pump must not run when not submerged and provides automatic dry‑run protection and motor protection if the rotor is blocked. Manufacturer documentation for the O‑Plus series notes the unit can pass solids (dirt particles) up to 6 mm and describes the pump family as using a synchronous motor with a wear‑resistant ceramic shaft and other series claims such as reduced noise and energy savings. The RD718 listing in the AquaForte catalogue gives inlet and outlet sizes as 2" / 2". AquaForte states the pump is suitable for applications such as ornamental ponds, koi ponds, swimming ponds, watercourses and waterfalls in its product materials. The description above reports only what AquaForte provides for this exact model (RD718). Several common product details are not supplied in the available AquaForte materials for this model (for example cable length, physical dimensions, weight and IP rating), so those items are not included here.
Best for
Submerged pumping for ornamental ponds, koi ponds, swimming ponds, watercourses and waterfalls (manufacturer‑stated applications).
Things to consider
Manufacturer documentation for RD718 provides core hydraulic and power figures but omits several typical product details: no cable length, no physical dimensions, no weight, no IP protection rating and no numeric pond/stocking capacity guidance are published for this model. UV/UVC is not included or specified. The flow figure originates from AquaForte's 19 m³/h listing (converted here to 19,000 L/h); no conflicting values were found in the manufacturer sources used.
Installation
AquaForte specifies submerged installation; pump may be mounted outside the pond only if placed below the water level. Do not run the pump when not submerged. The pump has automatic dry‑run protection and motor protection against blocked rotor.
Maintenance
Manufacturer documentation does not publish fixed maintenance intervals for this model in the available materials. The manual refers to motor protection for rotor blockage; follow the manual's guidance for servicing and clearing blockages.
Safety
Do not operate the pump when not submerged. The unit includes automatic shut‑off on no water and motor protection for blocked rotor as documented by AquaForte. Observe the manufacturer warranty and manual instructions.
