DXP‑5000 – Bluetooth-enabled circulation pump

The DXP-5000 is a vertical circulation pump for sump filtration tanks with limited floor space. It is controlled wirelessly through a smartphone app or a remote, so keepers can adjust flow without reaching into the sump.

Why it matters

• Compact vertical design: the pump has a diameter of 9 cm and a height of 18 cm, so it takes up little room in a sump compartment.
• Intake from the lower housing: water is drawn from the bottom of the body, which keeps the pump working when the water level in the filtration chamber is low and reduces the risk of drawing air from the surface.
• Programmable power and modes: output is adjustable from 30% to 100%, with a feed time setting and four operating modes: continuous, wave, variable and random wave.
• Energy use: at 30% power the pump draws 15 W. In wave mode it averages about 25 W according to the manufacturer.

What it works with

The DXP-5000 is intended for sump-based setups in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Its 5000 l/h maximum flow and 4.5 m lift make it a fit for larger tanks, while the vertical body suits compact sumps. Multiple DXP pumps can be programmed together through the app for synchronised operation across several units.
