User questions & answers

Question:	Does this pump have an inlet to connect to a water supply to use it for an outdoor water fountain
Answer:	no, not really it is intended to be an in-pond pump not an external pump, so the pump sits in the water submerged.
Question:	How noisy is this unit, anyone know? If I was to run this in my backyard for 24 hrs, would it disturb my neighbors and I in the night
Answer:	Hello. We have been running it 24 hours. and our BR window is about 20 yards away. We do not notice the pump noise.
Question:	What is the size of the output nipple
Answer:	I am rather certain it is 1". I am assuming you are referring to the thread size. Again I believe with good comfidence it is 1: NPT. Although an assortment of barbed nipples comes with the pump. I used 1" corrugated hose to service my old fashioned cast iron hand pump at the top of my spillway barrel. The pump supplies so much water that I had to dial it down to the minimum setting!
Question:	what is approximate maximum depth for outlet? Thanks
Answer:	I'm not sure that I fully understand you question and so to answer I'll tell you what I've done. The pump itself is approximately 9.5" high. The top part being the outlet pipe. I've set the pump on the bottom of the pond which is 22" deep. I have attached to the outlet pipe a hose that leads the water up to my waterfall which stands about 5' above the outlet pipe. My pond holds approximately 750 gals and the pressure from the pump is more than adequate. Hope that helps.

The right pump for your pond!

The pump you choose is based on the size of your pond and the pumping capacity in gallons per hour (gph). The pump should circulate the entire volume of the pond at least every two hours. For example, if you have a 1,000-gallon pond, you need a pump that handles at least 500 gph. When in doubt, you should purchase a slightly more powerful pump. You can always slow or divert the flow of a pump, but you can’t increase it.

• PROFESSIONAL PUMP - The water pump is designed for pond, water gardens, fountains, aquariums, waterfalls, statuary hydroponic, irrigation systems and water features; It's submersible and also can be used terrestrially, but long-time terrestrial use is NOT recommended

• LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION - High-performance magnetic drive motor technology leads this pump energy efficient and simple to maintain; Oil-free and quiet operation with noise levels between 30–40 DB
• DIRECTION ADJUSTABLE - Direction of water can be adjusted to 5 different positions to meet different water spraying needs; Output valves fit 2 adaptors that fit 1” and 1-1/4” Inner Diameter tubing and lift height can reach up to 14.8 feet
• THOUGHTFUL DESIGN - A protective mesh shield encloses the pump and keeps out large debris reduce need for maintenance; The portable handle makes it easy to move for your pumping needs; A pre-wired 20.3 feet power cord makes the pump easy to use

User questions & answers

Question:	can you attach a pre-filter to the intake
Answer:	The OASE Eco premium has a satellite and in pond skimmer it can pull from. The cage is designed as pre filter on this. You can certainly add a filter on the discharge side like the UltraKlean by Aquascape.
Question:	what size tube does the discharge take
Answer:	Hi Ed, This pump comes with a multi-step discharge that accepts .75", 1", 1.25", 1.5", or 2" fittings. You can cut off anything smaller than what you are going to use. Sincerely, Nate at Practical Garden Ponds
Question:	Can I attach this to a micro biofalls? Do I also need the submersible filter in the main pond
Answer:	Yes you can. You do not need the submersible filter because the housing around the pump acts as a filter for the pump.
Question:	Anyone use one of these for a turtle pond
Answer:	Thanks for your question. This pump works exceptionally well in any water garden or koi pond. It has a low profile and center of gravity and has a heavy duty cage pre filter over the top to protect the pump from any solids. I highly recommend this pump to my customers!

Aquascape AquaForce Pumps

Combining energy efficient performance, high flow rates, and ease of maintenance, Aquascape AquaForce asynchronous, solids-handling waterfall and filter pumps feature a pre-filter cage that allows the pump to be placed directly into the pond.

Protective Pre-Filter Cage

The Aquaforce's protective pump cage features large openings that allow solids to be easily processed, allowing debris to be passed and filtered, preventing the pump from being clogged or damaged.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this as an external (out of water) pump to pump water from my pool to my water slide? Apps 10ft
Answer:	I can be used inline or submerged however it has to be used below water level. Also I don't believe you will have enough water movement at 10' of head pressure.
Question:	Can pump output be varied with dimmer or valve without damage to pump
Answer:	Thanks for your question. You can use a diverter or ball valve and it won't affect the pump in the slightest. If you need more help you can call Pond & Garden Depot toll free at 1-866-305-5459Cody H. Customer Service
Question:	What is the dementions for the input and output ports of this pump
Answer:	Do not be fooled by this pump just sent it back today. It is not a Pondmaster pump. It is a Supreme pump. The first give away is the cord is 10’ not 18’. When you check the item number on the box it is incorrect. I ordered a Pondmaster at Pond and Garden Depot. That’s way everyone is complaining and bad reviews. It’s not a Pondmaster that we’ve all been using for years. I’m really upset that Amazon is pull8ng a fast one after all the years of ordering.
Question:	we bought this pump in May 2020, it suddenly isn't working. Any suggestions? It's the third one in about 4 years
Answer:	Thanks for your question. If the pump is making noise but is not moving water you likely need an impeller replacement. This is recommended annual maitenance. If the pump is not turning on whatsoever then you should pursue a warranty claim. This pump carries a 5 year warranty that you can pursue ideally with the seller you bought this from our with Danner MFG directly.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the thread size for the outlet connection
Answer:	We actually had to use an adapter and some silicone from the hardware store. Totally worth it though, because it was about half as much as the brand that I usually buy when I need a replacement. (This has happened three times in the past twenty years.) Anyone with minor plumbing skills should be able to figure it out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Approx. How long will this take to clear water
Answer:	My pond is 300 gallons. It took about 3 week to clear. It has stayed clear for months now. I clean the filters about every 2 weeks.
Question:	Where do I purchase replacement pads for the filter
Answer:	I think you can also get them on Amazon too.
Question:	I have the 600 gallon, and the transformer for the uv light failed. can i purchase a transformer cord for the uv light
Answer:	I don't know. I know you can purchase a new bulb. Contact the seller.
Question:	How deep does pond need to b for this
Answer:	I bought this. It is great. My pond is 2 feet deep and 600 gallons. I would think it needs to be deep enough for the pump to be completely submerged at least 1 to 1 1/2 feet deep.
Question:	what is the replacement UV bulb and does amazon sell this ? thanks
Answer:	I believe you would get that through the manufacturer or if you’re lucky enough to have a fish/ pond store near you, they can probably order it
Question:	Can you run the pump without using the UV light
Answer:	No. There is not an option to turn off the uv light while running the fountain.
Question:	My pond is 3ft deep, can you extend the fountain to reach that high
Answer:	Yes. It would be easy to do. You would have to buy a piece of tubing to extend it, but the motors are certainly powerful enough!
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:	Clean filters often ! Ducks very messy.

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:	Do I need a skimmer for my pond if I buy this filter pump
Answer:	Thank you for asking! The skimmer and pump serve different purposes. The skimmer acts as a filter skimming debris from the ponds surface whereas the pumps sole purpose is to move water between your various filters, fountains, or waterfall features. If you get this pump you will still want some kind of filtration, be it a skimmer or a flat box filter. For more personalized advice please contact Tetra at [email protected] or call us at 1-800-526-0650. We are happy to help!

Answer:	It has a 15'power cord.
Question:	Have a pond approx 1200 gallons, tossed up between the 1500 and the 3000. For the size which pump /filter combo would be best
Answer:	I would say the bigger the pump the more water you will filter.
Question:	Can this pump be used with Best Choice Products 4000 gal Pressure Bio Filter with Uv Sterilizer
Answer:	Yes it may work in that application.

Question:	Would this be good for a 250 gallon pond
Answer:	No. A bigger pump would be better.

Question:	will this work for my turtle in about 200-250 gal pond

User questions & answers

Question:	Would a 1.5” flexible pipe work for this pump
Answer:	Hello, this pump takes up to two inches in tubing.
Question:	Does this pump have a warranty and if so will it be honored? Seems to be a fair amount of negative feedback in the comments
Answer:	I’m not sure about the warranty period. But I’ve been running my 4,000gph in my pond skimmer for almost a year without issue. It even ran semi-dry overnight after a falling branch knocked my pond drain open and I lost 14” of water. I bought another (same) pump thinking the one I was using would soon fail...it didn’t. I’m very impressed with this pump. It is quiet and powerful. So far, bullet proof.
Question:	i need a pump to run filter at end of pond and fountain at other end pond is 3 deep x 15' long 4 foot wide around 1500 gallons
Answer:	The PAL4000 will be marginal if you have no fish in the pond. If you have fish in your pond you will need at least the next size bigger. I personally would go two sizes bigger and you will have fewer problems with water circulation through the pump and fountain. The rule of thumb is the rating on the pump in gallons per hour should be 3-4 times the volume of water in the pond. You can't go wrong with a pump that is a little bigger than you need. You can always put a ball valve and return line to the pond that will regulate your fountain and still clean your pond water.
Question:	Does anyone know the correct inlet size fitting for the Alpine Cyclone
Answer:	I did not have an inlet I used this to submerge it in my existing pond and recirculated the water from the pond to my waterfall. It seems that when I put the pump in, it had an option to put an inlet water on it but I did not check it out since I was putting it in an existing pond. It works great.
