Review: Great value pump for the pond or aquaponics hobbyist - I actually haven't plugged this in yet, so I don't even know if this specific unit works. However, I have been using TetraPond pumps since the spring of 2012 in my backyard aquaponics system. They have been very reliable and I haven't had one fail yet. I shut down my system in the winter but I have run pumps continuously from late April through late November. I have both smaller and larger pumps than this one, but I specifically bought the 325 GPH pump as I'm going to set up a solar heating system and need a pump to circulate the water through it. I want to run higher temperatures in the aquaponics system to increase fish growth rate. A few reminders: First, as you increase the pressure head ie. the vertical distance that you want to pump the water, the flow rate drops off. They show on the packaging how much flow is lost per vertical distance. This must be taken into account when you're choosing a pump. As an example, if you need 325 GPH of water flow, you would need a larger pump to achieve that flow rate if your pressure head is a foot or more. Second, the plastic hose adapter should be handled carefully so you don't snap it off accidentally. It hasn't happened with any of these pumps, but I have a different brand where it happened. It is, after all, plastic. When you place a hose over it, try to gently slip it on. What I've found helpful is to gently heat the end of the hose with a lighter to soften the plastic hose so it will slip over the adapter easily. Once the hose cools, it will stay put, though you should slip a stainless steel hose clamp over the hose/adapter to ensure it stays in place. Lastly, I run my pumps in an aquaponics system and it can handle uneaten food and solid fish waste easily without getting plugged. However, I keep the tanks covered with tarps to block out a lot of light so no algae grows in my system, and also netting to prevent leaves and other debris from falling into the tank, and also to prevent fish from jumping out! This means that I don't usually have problems with anything solid plugging the pump. If you plan to use this pump for an outdoor pond, remember that plugging of the pump can be an issue. I think they sell pre-filters to help with this but you'll have to do your own research on that. Good luck!

Thanks.** A: 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. **Q: What is the size of the output nipple?** A: 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! **Q: Does this pump have an inlet to connect to a water supply to use it for an outdoor water fountain?** A: no, not really it is intended to be an in-pond pump not an external pump, so the pump sits in the water submerged. **Q: 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? Thanks.** A: Hello. We have been running it 24 hours. and our BR window is about 20 yards away. We do not notice the pump noise. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value pump for the pond or aquaponics hobbyist *by B***R on March 9, 2015* I actually haven't plugged this in yet, so I don't even know if this specific unit works.
