Question:	Where exactly is the inlet? If used as a small sump pump, how much water will be left

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these work with saltwater
Answer:	Yes they will. I recommend cleaning the filters more regularly.. that would be my only advice between regular water and salt water.
Question:	will this work with a 12ft x 30in above ground pool
Answer:	No as they are intended for medium sizen fountains and are placed under the water. An above ground pool needs a filter pump on the outside of the pool to guard against electric shock.
Question:	Will water back flow when pump is off
Answer:	Yes. Pump is very weak and would not pump more that two openings
Question:	Im looking at the 550gph 30w system does it actually lift 7.2ft? I am growing fodder and need a 5-6ft lift for automatic watering
Answer:	Not a chance. I bought two. They are extremely weak. Tiny pumps compared to better brands. Beware.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use for 220 volts output
Answer:	no 220v will burn the the pump, it must be 110v
Question:	Hi is the LED lights supposed to have a Clear cover over it? Because in the paperwork it shows a clear cover on it, but mine doesn’t have one
Answer:	Mine has no clear cover
Question:	can you attach a larger filter to pump
Answer:	You can do this in a couple of different ways: 1) Insert the existing pump into a larger filter box. Amazon sells a large rectangular filter box that has the coarse and fine filter media with a hole in the middle where the pump fountain attachment comes up through. This filter box will suck in water from the slotted top, through the filter sponges and then into the existing pump/filter. Works great if you have a larger pond where you can afford to give up that extra space. My only drawback with this was that when you needed to clean out the filter, a lot of the gunk would get spilled back into the pond as you lift out the filter box and try to remove the pump (as it is plugged in somewhere and if you have hidden the wires, you can't easily take the pump away from the pond). 2) Use the side output from this fountain attachment to send some of the water into another filter. You can attach tubing or a hose adapter to it, then connect to any internal or external filter.
Question:	how high in inchs is the actual pump itself,? not sure my garden basin is deep enough to cover the pump
Answer:	About 12 to 20 inches depending on which attachments you use. I love this little pump. My little outdoor plastic pond is only about 4 feet across and only 16 inches deep.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have auto shut off
Answer:	Auto shutoff for what purpose? Two possibilities would be: A timer would switch it ff and on at prearranged times. For a malfunction due to no water going through, you will ideally want to power it through a ground fault interrupt circuit so in the event the water source accidentally runs dry the pump will not burn out.
Question:	What is the thread size that the outlet nozzles screw into? I want to screw a threaded pvc fitting into the pump and need the female thread size
Answer:	It is a 1/2" thread, not 3/4".
Question:	What is the pipe thread size of the discharge side of the pump
Answer:	It is a 1/2" thread.
Question:	is there a flow chart for differences in head pressure
Answer:	I have not seen one. The smaller the tube you hook up to the pump, the higher the pressure and the farther the water will be pumped.

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:	Can this pump be installed and successfully work in an "in line" set up
Answer:	Thanks for your question. Yes this pump can be used in an inline setup, but it is not self priming and is water cooled. This means that the pump has to be below the water level with water being gravity fed to the pump. This ensures the pump is never pulling air and the line is constantly full of water. If you need more help you can call Pond & Garden Depot toll free at 1-866-305-5459 Cody H. Customer Service
Question:	What are in take and out take in inches
Answer:	hi ... the Supreme Mag drive 9.5 (950 gph), 12 (1200 gph) and 18 (1800 gph) models all have 950 gph - 1800 gph pumps have a 3/4" FNPT intake and a 3/4" MNPT discharge. The 24 (2400 gph) pump has a 1" FNPT intake and 1" MNPT discharge. Sincerely, Nate at Practical Garden Ponds
Question:	What are the dimensions of the pump
Answer:	Pump Size (L x W x H): 6.4" x 4.5" x 4.6"
Question:	What is the psi rating of this pump. i need to connect it to fee water to an ionizing water treatment device. not sure of the imput diamter yet
Answer:	This type of pump is not rated in psi, but in gpm (gallons per minute) The only pumps* that I know of that are rated in psi are in a pump system that is specifically designed to increase water pressure.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the overall dimensions of the pump? I need to make sure it can fit in my sectional sump
Answer:	the pump is 4" wide + 5.5" deep including the front hose connection and 5.5" high including the top hose connection. Hoses don't bend easily. If that is an issue don't overlook it. Also, don't forget to allow for a filter attachment either if you need to filter the water going into the pump. I doubt that you do -if this is for a sump pump. How will it activate and turn off? That is usually built into a sump pump.
Question:	Would this be suitable for use with hot water? Maybe up to 160°F
Answer:	Blake,Most mag drive pump list a max temp of about 90-100 degrees. Could use a little higher but 160 would require an oil cooled pump to prevent damage
Question:	Does this come with the box and 5 year pond master warranty
Answer:	It comes with the box, I believe the warranty card is included. I cannot guarantee it will be accepted but if you send it in I can't imagine why it would not be accepted.
Question:	What are the size of the outlets
Answer:	pvc The discharge side of the Danner 500 GPH pump is 1/2" with external threads. A 1/2" female threaded schedule 40 bushing, elbow, or tee will fit the discharge side of this pump. For my 50 gallon goldfish pond, I installed a 1/2" tee and used 2 risers. The 500 GPH pump is of sufficient size to have 2 fountain risers as long as you have no more than 2-3 feet head.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the PSI or max head (pumping vertical height) of this pump
Answer:	A quick Google search of "Superior Pump 91250" yields the manufacturers specs. I do not see PSI listed but "Pumps will lift water up to 25' of vertical height" I belive answers your question...there is a chart on the "Performance" tab that shows 30 GPM at 0' lift and 2 GPM at 25' lift...with flow rates every 5' listed.http://superiorpump.com/products/utility/91250.html
Question:	Does it have an automatic shut off
Answer:	The pump does not have an automatic shut off. I added a float switch because I wanted it to pump out a sink that had a slow-running clogged drain where I had the washing machine. When the sink was mostly pumped out the float switch turned off the pump. It worked great for a couple years until I got around to dealing with snaking the drain which didn't have an easy clean-out. This is a good pump, since the sink drain got taken care of, we've been using the pump to pump koi pond water over a 5' fence to our neighbor's garden using about 150' of garden hose. The pump runs continuously for 5+ hours without issues in this process.
Question:	Will clothes washer hoses fit on this pump
Answer:	The pump itself fits a garden hose nicely. You can buy the attachment package listed next to it for the converter piece. It only came to around $8.00. It also comes with a larger hose. I didn't need it for my spa but if you need to empty a washer or bigger pool it seems like it would come in handy. Hope that helps. Good luck. :-)
Question:	Can this be user to flush a tankless heater with vinigar
Answer:	I bought the pump for this very reason. I'm not sure if it is rated to handle vinegar, but at the price I figured I'd try it and see. I have two tankless water heaters, and I wanted a pump that could clean out both at the same time and this pump certainly does the job. I have a hose that runs from the pump, into a splitter. From the splitter I have two hoses going to each water heater (one hose per water heater). Even pushing water through two hoses, it still has a strong flow, with each hose pushing about the same flow as the water hose faucet outside your house opened wide open (guestimate). The splitter I have allows me to adjust the flow rate by closing off some valves if it is too strong. For just one water heater, i would think this pump is too strong (as it REALLY moves water), but I'm not a plumber so I couldn't say for sure. If I were to do it again, I think I would have purchased the 1/4 HP pump, or even the 1/5HP for cleaning out water heaters with vinegar. I cleaned out my water heater this week for the first time using this pump. I let it run for 2 hrs, and I noticed that it got warm (about the temp of a warm-to-hot bath). I'm not sure if that is normal, but thought I'd let you know.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used for water in the yard
Answer:	yes
Question:	What is the thread size for the outlet fittings? Is it an M20? I really need an 8mm outlet
Answer:	It came with 4 different sizes , the one I'm using fits the rubber garden hose . there is two more that's bigger than the one I'm using on my garden hose and one smaller . they don't have the size on them , it a great pump I use it to drain my hot tub to take the water about a 100 feet away from my house . hope this help you a little
Question:	Would the 1/2 in nozzle fit inside a 1/2" pvc pipe? I'm making a vertical grow tower
Answer:	The nominal dimensions used for plumbing are inside dimensions. So if you add the exterior dimension of one part, and attempt to insert into the next component it obviously won’t fit. That’s why there are couplings. However, unless you can find a coupling that allows for two different outside dimensions, you’ll need to be clever enough to adapt.
Question:	What size of the four nozzles ( in inches
Answer:	The nozzles represent hose size for submerged pumps. From 1/2”, 5/8”/, and 3/4”

User questions & answers

Question:	I am looking at powering this with solar panels. Can anyone provide the power requirement for either the 3100 or 5200 at 10' head pressure
Answer:	I'm assuming you have an inverter? Pump will draw 426 watts. Head pressure at 10' will drop the GPH to 3,125 GPH.
Question:	Can anyone attest to durability, energy efficiency, or warranty? Looking at this v Aquascape, which was recommended, but this one is much less
Answer:	I've have been using cycle pumps for over a year now and have had very good service from them in our pond I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, the only problem I've had was the filter cage will not stay attached to the pump body I attached it to the body with some screws. Power efficiency is exceptional and the 33ft cord is a plus when using the pump in a 50ft pond.
Question:	I am wondering about the tube fitting, I am looking for a 2" male end to be able to attach my tubing to the pump

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.
