Fountain Pumps, Submersible Pumps, and Table Top Fountain Pumps

When considering what to use for a submersible fountain pump, There are two simple things that need to come to mind. How many feet does the fountain pump need to lift the water and how much waterflow you require your fountain pump to porduce.

As you browse below for submersible fountain pumps you will find greater detail to the fountain, aquarium, or hydroponic pumps we offer. You will see two numbers that you should keep in mind. One is the gallons per hour or GPH of the submersible pump, and the other number is the maximum head of the pump. The latter means the highest point the submersible or inline pump will lift the water to. For example a table top fountain pump with the max head of 2' means that particular table top fountain pump will not be able to push water up tubing more then 2'.

Additionally, the above table top fountain pump example at 2' feet the water will be extremely low flow. So then what type of table fountain would a submersible fountain pump be good for? Perhaps one that is 1.5' tall. The gallons per hour of a submersible or inline pump only means the the flow rate from where the water exits at the pump.

A tip on picking a fountain pump. Try to always pick one stronger fountain pump than the strongest you may think want to choose. You can always turn the water flow down on a pump, but you can never make the fountain pump stronger and nothing is worse then putting in your pump, and see that your statuary fountain is hardly showing water.
