The Hozelock Aquaforce Satellite Strainer Cage is designed for pond owners using larger Aquaforce pump models (6000, 8000, 12000, and 15000) who want to improve water circulation and pond health. It allows your pump to draw water from two distinct areas of your pond simultaneously, ensuring clearer water while offering an optional Wildlife Protection System to keep small aquatic life safe. While it significantly enhances filtration performance, it is only compatible with specific Aquaforce pumps featuring a dedicated satellite inlet.
No, this satellite strainer is specifically designed for the larger 6000, 8000, 12000, and 15000 models.
It is a set of inserts that reduce the cage intake gaps to 2mm, preventing small fish and amphibians from entering the pump.
Cleaning frequency depends on your pond's debris levels, but it should be checked whenever you perform routine maintenance on your main pump filter.
The kit typically includes the necessary components to connect to the secondary inlet; ensure you have the appropriate length of tubing for your pond setup.
Yes, the protection system is optional and can be left out if you prefer higher flow rates and do not have concerns about small wildlife.
Check the satellite cage for heavy debris or organic matter accumulation and clean the exterior mesh.
Verify that your pump is one of the compatible models (6000-15000) and that you are attempting to connect it to the secondary inlet port.
To set up, ensure your pump model is either a 6000, 8000, 12000, or 15000 series Aquaforce. Locate the secondary inlet cap on your pump housing, remove it, and connect the satellite intake hose leading to the strainer cage. For regular maintenance, remove the cage from the water periodically to clear away debris, leaves, or algae that may have accumulated on the exterior mesh. If using the 2mm wildlife protection inserts, clean them more frequently, as the smaller apertures are more susceptible to clogging from fine organic matter. Always unplug the pump from the electrical source before performing any maintenance or adjustments to the cage assembly.
