User questions & answers

Question:	what is the replacement UV bulb and does amazon sell this ? thanks
Answer:	Clean filters often ! Ducks very messy.
Question:	Can you run the pump without using the UV light
Answer:	I honestly don’t know....check the dimensions...it’s big enough for my 500
Question:	My pond is 3ft deep, can you extend the fountain to reach that high
Answer:	The filter box comes with 10 bio media balls. We hope this helps.
Question:	I will be using this system in a 4x2x2 tub for my three small ducks to rince off and splash around. do you think this will work
Answer:	Hi, I live in VA and when the pond freezes over I turn my pumps off. I have read where you can leave them on or turn them off during winter but I usually leave mine on up until the first freeze. I do insert a hose in the pond with the tip sticking out of the water to release gases that get trapped when the pond freezes over. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a small duck pond that needs continuous aeration in the summertime. Would like the option of a fountain for a visual. Is this a good choice
Answer:	The pump is not very loud. I would say you can have a conversation next to the pump without raising your voice.
Question:	can this pump be somehow used for a waterfall and foutain? and it is a filter am i correct? not just a pump for circulation
Answer:	Wattage is voltage X amperage. According to mfr amperage (current) is 1.3 amps. Multiply that times the voltage (115 v) = 149.5 watts
Question:	Anyone use one of these for a turtle pond
Answer:	A lot of times when the water doesn't come out it is because either there is an air leak and the system is not sealing or the pump is too small for the system and it cannot draw water through the system. This is a very small pump and the comments about its strength are exaggerated. Make sure your system is sealed. It only takes a small air leak and the system will not work.
Question:	Is it only running 100gal per hour or why does it say it in the description
Answer:	Both inlet and outlet are 2-7/8" threads, the white union that screws on accepts 1.5" PVC pipe.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 13ft x 2 ft circular fountain and am looking to run tubing through a water feature up 6 ft with a bell fountain head - would this work
Answer:	I use this pump to circulate water from a bottom pond (2000 gallons) to a top pond (900 gallons) for a waterfall. The water is pushed through 30 feet of 1.5 inch tubing up an incline of 5 feet. This pump circulates our water volume very well.
Question:	Does this have a threaded intake to allow connection of solid PVC pipe
Answer:	hello....I am presently far away from the pump (Az) in Europe and will not return back to Az before the end of August...sorry! Yet, I seem to recall that it did not have a threaded intake and I hooked it up to the PVC pipe with a short flex and clamps....hope it helps! I believe you meant "outtake" and not "intake" since the "intake" (where it "takes" the water in) is located underneath the pump itself, no hose, no pipe?
Question:	CAN YOU USE ONE INCH TUBING
Answer:	You can use any size tubing with the proper adapters however one must remember that using a small diameter tubing will increase the resistance and turbulence through the tube thus greatly reducing its flow capacity (its a logarithmic function). These types of pumps can handle high resistance on the output side however not at the input end so hopefully you are only referring to choking down the output and are willing to sacrifice the huge drop in flow as a result (note: expect a large pressure increase, similar to putting your thumb over the end of a water hose).
Question:	I'm confused. it's listed as a 3100gph but on the website it says maximum flow rate of 1100gph. which is it
Answer:	Hi Steve, the gph of any pump depends on the head pressure working against it. The Cyclone PAL3100 pumps 3100 gph at zero head. It pumps 2,251 gph at 5' of head, 1390 at 10' of head and 479 gph at 15' of head (according to the manufacturers literature). Head is roughly calculated by adding three things together, 1' of head for every foot of height from the surface of the pond to the highest point that the water will be pumped (if you could measure it straight up), another 1' of head for every 10' of tubing length, and another 1' for every sharp turn or obstacle like a UV unit or a 90 degree elbow). Sincerely, Nate at Practical Garden Ponds 484 356 5351 P.S. The reason there is sometimes conflicting information on Amazon is because multiple vendors share the same description and most of us don't have access to changing the information.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be good for a 250 gallon pond
Answer:	No. A bigger pump would be better.
Question:	Must you use the poles or can you use a tube for the fountain
Answer:	The poles need to be used at least as far as when the come out of the filter. After that you could attach tubing. This filter works very good.
Question:	will this work for my turtle in about 200-250 gal pond
Answer:	yeah it should be plenty of filtration.
Question:	How much does it cost to run pump per month
Answer:	Thanks for your question. The pump included is model# PF320 Which is rated 23 watts/0.4 amps. With a continuous 24 hour usage for 30 days you would use 16.56 kwh, at .10 per kwh (the national average) your monthly operation cost would be $1.66.
