SOBO Amphibious Water Pumps
SOBO Amphibious Water Pumps are high-lift, large-flow pumps for moving water in both marine and freshwater setups. They suit hobbyists who need dependable circulation or water transfer and want something quiet and energy-saving. The range covers four models, so you can match the pump to your system.
Key Benefits
- Works in both marine and freshwater environments, so one pump type covers saltwater and freshwater systems.
- Waterproof ceramic shaft, built for long-lasting service.
- No copper element in the pump.
- High lift and large flow for the power drawn.
- Energy-saving and environmentally friendly design.
- Super quiet operation.
- Fittings for 20 mm (0.8″), 25 mm (1″) and 30 mm (1.2″) pipes.
How to Use
Choose your model carefully before installing, because flow and lift change with the plumbing you attach. Keep these points in mind:
- The quoted flow rate and head height are not an indication of the pump’s maximum flow at maximum height. They are separate maximums.
- At the maximum height, the pump produces 0 l/h of flow.
- Pipe thickness plays a vital role in head height. The thicker the pipe, the stronger the pump must be to produce a good lift.
- Always double your requirements to be sure. If your system needs a certain flow at a certain height, choose a pump with roughly twice that capacity.
Suitable For
- Marine and freshwater systems, including ponds.
- Setups that need strong lift and high water movement.
- Hobbyists who want a quiet, energy-saving pump.
Compatibility
- Pipe fittings for 20 mm (0.8″), 25 mm (1″) and 30 mm (1.2″) pipes.
- All models run on AC 220-240v, 50Hz.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right model?
Work out the flow and lift your system needs, then double those requirements. The range runs from 9000 L/H at 5.2 m (17.1 ft) up to 16000 L/H at 7.5 m (24.6 ft).
Will I get the full flow rate at the full head height?
No. Flow and head height are separate maximums. At the maximum height, the pump produces 0 l/h.
Can these pumps be used in saltwater as well as freshwater?
Yes. They are designed for both marine and freshwater environments and use a waterproof ceramic shaft with no copper element.
Which pipe sizes do the fittings suit?
Fittings are provided for 20 mm (0.8″), 25 mm (1″) and 30 mm (1.2″) pipes.
Does pipe thickness affect performance?
Yes. Thicker pipe needs a stronger pump to achieve a good lift, so allow for this when choosing a model.
What power supply do they need?
All models are rated for AC 220-240v, 50Hz. Wattage ranges from 70W on the BO-9000A to 140W on the BO-16000A.
