User questions & answers

Question:	How do you get the company to answer about problems? Warranty? Pump was sending electrical current into the water. 2 weeks no reply. Shocking
Answer:	Did you go to amazon or check sellers site for contact info ? Are you plugged into a ground fault electrical outlet /? If so you do have a bad pump just keep trying to contact the seller . Notify amazon you will get a FAST ANSWER the seller will be kicked off amazon !!!!
Question:	What size are the attachments that screw on the nozzle I feel like I got 2 of the same size
Answer:	Inch and a quarter ID
Question:	Does this pump have an intake valve that lets you attach a hose to it? meaning, can i add a hose to the intake and outlet portion
Answer:	It does have an intake valve, but you have to cut part of the plastic end off (and thus voiding the warranty) to access it. I did this - though to attach a UV filter, not a hose. I didn't have a dremel, but it would have made it a lot easier to make that cut. There's probably a better pump you don't have to do this for. When this one goes on me, I'll find one I don't have to modify.
Question:	What size fountain attachment can work with this
Answer:	Your question is a little vague... are you asking what size tubing you can attach? Or are you asking how high the pump will lift the water? It connects to 2inch inner diameter pipe on the outlet, and on the intake as well if you desire. I personally left the screen on the intake side and put an adapter on the outlet side and connected 3" pipe. The pump specs say it will lift 26feet high. I have about 35feet of 3inch pipe going to a Y, where it splits into 2 waterfalls.

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:	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 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
Answer:	Was the fitting 1.5 or 2in , I’m hoping 1.5 , pls let me know before I purchase
Question:	What is the energy consumption for Alpine 5200gph pump
Answer:	The maximum power usage for the PAL5200 is 426 Watts.

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 like to use this in a pond. Can it be left running all the time? Does it have an automatic shut off if it gets clogged

Question:	Dose that pump work with Kuwait electricity 240 volt

Question:	I'm trying to circulate water from a nearby stream into tanks to keep bait alive. Will this handle silt/debris without clogging? Is there a filter
Answer:	There is a screen around the bottom that's about all the filter you gonna get. You could sit the pump in a shallow bucket under water like I did to keep from clogging it up. As far as the pump goes though it's pretty powerful . moves water great.... I'd recommend it
