Submersible Pump Fountain Water Garden Outdoor Aquarium Pond 400 GPH 16' Cord
HOW TO CHOOSE A HYDROPONIC, AQUAPONIC, ALGAPONIC, AQUARIUM, POND OR FOUNTAIN PUMP
First remember:
ʉۢ "Maximum Flow Rate" is meaningless because it is at ZERO head.
 â€¢ "Maximum Head/Lift" is meaningless because the flow at that height is only a trickle. 
You need an affordable quality pump with the desired flow at your required head and lowest wattage. 
Step 1: Determining Desired Flow Rate
Most ponics systems flow through a single loop allowing a single pump. A flow rate near 100 GPH is sufficient for grow beds loop up to 120 feet. If you have multiple grow-bed loops, then 100 GPH is needed for each loop. Flood/drain beds needs 2 to 4 cycles per hour.
Step 2: Calculating System Head
Measure the vertical distance from the "top" of the water in the pump tank to the pump discharge pipe. A typical requirement is 100 GPH @ 3 feet.
Step 3: Pump Selection Considerations
ʉۢ Continuous vs. intermittent pump duty cycle increases pump life, plus no need for a timer or level control.
 â€¢ A rule of thumb is that an average pump will last 2-4 times the stated warranty period. 
ʉۢ Best to buy a backup.
Step 4: Is A Foam Filter Needed?
The objective of a filter is to keep objects/grit out of the pump.
ʉۢ While great for ponds, a foam filter in "ponics" systems is a maintenance headache as good place for algae to grow.
ʉۢ If you endeavor to have clear water... you will likely need a separate pre-filter, so a foam filter is redundant.
ʉۢ Green water algaponics systems require a vortex pre-filter; a foam filter would only clog with desirable algae.
ʉۢ Micro-algae will not hurt a pump unless it stops water flow.

Features:

  • DURABLE QUALITY: Our Polished Aluminum Oxide Ceramic Impeller Shaft insures long pump life because it is non-corrodible and more than 3 times as hard as stainless steel. Epoxy Resin Encasement of key internal motor components prevents unwanted conductivity and corrosion of metal parts. This pump incorporates a magnetic wet-rotor design, so there is no seal to fail that would damage the pump motor.
  • EFFICIENT: Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) Magnets are used in all our electric motors because they are the most powerful permanent magnetic materials commercially available and increase energy efficiency. Water-Lubricated Nitrile Bushings are used because they possess a very low coefficient of friction, have inherent vibration-dampening qualities and are non-polluting.
  • SAFE & EASY: Safe for fish with no exposed copper and oil free. Easy to clean with no tools required to disassemble and clean filter/impeller. Our SJTW Electric Cord is waterproof, 18# gauge copper wire, molded plug with ground, heavy duty flexible vinyl jacket, resists oil/grease/moisture, abrasion resistant and very good flexibility at all temperatures.
  • SPECIFICATIONS: Salt or fresh water ready with flow Rates of 396 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) @ 0' Lift; 370 GPH @ 1' Lift; 363 GPH @ 2' Lift; 343 GPH @ 3' Lift; 306 GPH @ 4' Lift; 264 GPH @ 5' Lift; 221 GPH @ 6' Lift; 132 GPH @ 7' Lift; 3 GPH @ 8' Lift; Max Lift - 8' 2". Dimensions are 3.94" x 2.72" x 3.39". 120VAC - 25 WATTS - 60Hz. 1 year limited warranty.
