The Atlantic Water Gardens PAF-20 TidalWave is a high-volume, direct-drive submersible pump engineered for medium-head waterfalls, pond skimmers, and pondless water features. Designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation, the PAF-20 combines stainless steel durability with lightweight composite housings for easier servicing.

  • Performance: 1/4 HP motor delivering 2800 GPH at 5' head with a maximum head around 21'. Rated at approximately 360 W and 3.5 A; 2" FIPT discharge and 20' power cord.
  • Rugged construction: Stainless steel and high-impact composite housing with cast-aluminum bearing components for corrosion resistance and long life.
  • Dependability: Dual silicon carbide mechanical seals, vortex impeller design, and thermal overload protection reduce downtime and protect internal components.
  • Solids handling: Removable intake screen converts the pump to true 1.25" solids handling capacity for use with screened skimmers and waterfalls.
  • Compact serviceable design: 9" L × 6" W × 14" H footprint, approximate weight 12 lbs, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.

Installation is simple: the PAF-20 can be used submerged or inline and performs well in medium-head, high-volume applications. Routine maintenance—periodic cleaning of the intake screen and visual inspection of seals—keeps the pump running efficiently season after season.
