DXP‑8000 – Bluetooth-enabled circulation pump

The DXP-8000 is a vertical circulation pump for sump filtration tanks where floor space is limited. It draws water from the bottom of its housing, so it keeps running with a low water level in the filter chamber and reduces the risk of pulling air in from the surface.

Why it matters

• Compact footprint: the vertical body is 9 cm in diameter and 18 cm high, which leaves room for other sump equipment.
• Programmable flow: power can be set from 30% to 100% by the Bluetooth app or the remote, with separate settings for feeding time, continuous operation and wave modes.
• Low noise: the pump uses a sine-wave drive, which the manufacturer states makes it run very quietly.
• Dry-run protection: the pump detects a blocked impeller and stops to protect itself when it runs dry.

Specifications

• Maximum flow: 8000 l/h
• Maximum lift: 6 m
• Power draw: 25 W at 30% setting; in wave mode, about 42 W on average, per the manufacturer
• Dimensions: 9 cm diameter, 18 cm height
• Weight: 1 kg
• Control: Bluetooth app (iOS and Android) and remote controller
• Operating modes on the remote: continuous, wave, variable, random wave
• Settings are stored and survive a power outage
• Power supply: EU plug, 230 V, included in the set

What it works with

The pump is intended for sump filtration in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Its 8000 l/h maximum flow and 6 m lift suit circulation in larger tanks that use a sump, and several units can be programmed together through the app.
