{"product_id":"pulaco-submersible-water-pump-160-gph","title":"PULACO Submersible Water Pump with 3.3 Ft Tubing, 160 GPH, 3.3 ft tubing","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a maximum flow rate of 160 GPH, this submersible water pump moves water through medium fish tanks, small ponds and fountains. The pump reaches a maximum lift of 4.0 ft and draws water from a body measuring 5.8 x 4.4 x 5.5 cm. It ships with silicone tubing and a flow valve for setting the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the pump suits and what it needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists medium fish tanks, small ponds, fountains, water spring artworks, gardens, aquaponics and aquaculture as suitable settings for this pump. A large tank or a pond lying outside that range is not covered by that wording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo numbers set the working limits. Water can be pushed up to 4.0 ft (the maximum lift), and the pump delivers up to 160 GPH. If the outlet sits at or near the top of that 4.0 ft figure, plan on less than 160 GPH arriving there. The flow valve lets you bring the rate down from the maximum, so a system that needs less than 160 GPH can be dialled back. The pump is submersible and sits in the water it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFR-PPU12-120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubmersible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 GPH 10Watt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.8 x 4.4 x 5.5 cm (2.3 x 1.7 x 2.2 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e295 g (10.4 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum flow rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 GPH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum lift\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the pump works in a tank or pond\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater circulates through an aquarium when the pump runs, and the flow it produces stays steady as long as the pump is switched on. The motor is built for quiet running, which suits a tank or pond set up in a room where people spend time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flow valve on the pump is there for setting the rate, and the silicone tubing carries the water from the outlet to where it needs to go. The black plastic body measures 2.3 x 1.7 x 2.2 in and weighs 295 g. On the electricity side, the pump is rated at 10 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTubing, cleaning and setup notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tubing is silicone, a flexible material that bends around a route in a tank or pond. Should kinked marks show up, the manufacturer's directions are to stretch the tubing and let it rest on the floor for a few hours so it returns to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning does not call for tools. The pump can be taken apart for cleaning and put back together, which matters after it has been in pond or aquarium water. Fill the tubing and the housing with water before starting the pump, and use the flow valve to bring the rate to the setting you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat buyers ask about this pump\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow high can the pump push water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maximum lift is 4.0 ft. Flow is measured at the pump outlet, so the rate available at the top of a run depends on how high the outlet sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the pump and how much does it weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body measures 5.8 x 4.4 x 5.5 cm (2.3 x 1.7 x 2.2 in) and weighs 295 g (10.4 oz).
