Periha Amphibious Pumps: The Versatile Solution for Fountain and Pond Applications
When it comes to water pumps that truly understand versatility, the Periha PB Series amphibious pumps stand in a class of their own. The name "amphibious" perfectly captures what makes these pumps special—like the amphibian creatures that thrive both in water and on land, these innovative pumps work equally well submerged underwater or positioned outside the water. At Ekjan Associates, we're excited to offer the Periha PB Series because they solve a problem that has challenged fountain and pond enthusiasts for years: installation flexibility.
What "Amphibious" Really Means
Think of traditional pumps as specialists—some work underwater, others work on dry land, but rarely do both. The Periha amphibious pump is the versatile generalist that excels in both environments. You can install it fully submerged in your pond like a regular submersible pump, or place it outside the water using the included hose adapters, running like an inline pump. This dual capability means one pump serves multiple applications, giving you options traditional pumps simply can't match.
Why This Matters to You
Installation Flexibility: Changed your mind about pump placement? No problem. With Periha amphibious pumps, you're not locked into one configuration. Start with the pump submerged, then move it outside the water later if your needs change—the same pump handles both setups.
Easy Maintenance Access: When your pump sits outside the water, routine maintenance becomes incredibly simple. No more draining ponds or getting wet to service equipment. Check the intake strainer, adjust settings, or perform cleaning without disrupting your entire system.
Space Optimization: Small ponds or tight installations benefit enormously. If there's limited underwater space, position the pump externally. Have plenty of pond depth? Submerge it and keep surface areas clear.
Energy Efficiency That Saves Money: The Periha PB Series features variable frequency technology—a fancy term for "smart speed control." In plain language: the pump automatically adjusts its power consumption based on actual needs. Running a gentle waterfall? It uses less electricity. Need maximum flow for fountain displays? It delivers full power. This intelligent operation typically saves 30-50% on electricity costs compared to old-style pumps that run full-blast constantly.
Three Power Levels, One Simple Controller
The included controller offers three adjustable settings—think of them as Low, Medium, and High. This lets you:
- Run gentle circulation during quiet hours
- Increase flow for daytime displays
- Maximize performance for special occasions
- Fine-tune fountain heights and water effects
No complicated programming—just simple adjustment that puts you in control.
Built-In Protection Features
The Periha PB Series includes multiple safety systems that protect your investment:
Water Shortage Protection: If water levels drop too low, the pump automatically shuts off before damage occurs. No more burned-out motors from running dry.
Overload Protection: Electrical surges or excessive loads trigger automatic shutdown, preventing motor burnout.
Short-Phase Protection: Electrical irregularities are detected and the pump protects itself, extending lifespan significantly.
These aren't just technical features—they're peace of mind that your pump won't self-destruct if something goes wrong.
The Complete Package
Every Periha amphibious pump includes:
- The main pump unit with protective cage intake
- Variable frequency controller with three power settings

The distinctive orange and black color scheme isn't just attractive—it makes the pump easily visible underwater for maintenance and inspection.
