## Description

desertcart.com : AQUANEAT Fountain Pump, 480 GPH Submersible Water Pump with 5 ft Tubing, for Aquarium Fish Tank, Pet Water Fountain, Hydroponics, Pond Waterfall Filter Pump : Pet Supplies

Review: Great pump - I am actually using this pump to drain an in ground pool and I am truly impressed it is doing a great job and is worth it's weight in gold. Advertised as pumps an 8 ft head but I think that's a minimum!
Review: Perfect for a kids water table - Works real well for a kids water table. It is quiet and the unit is a lot smaller than I expected. The water flow is very strong. Maybe even too strong for the table.

## Features

- Wide Application: This submersible water pump is designed for indoor and outdoor fountains, aquarium fish tank, water table, small pond waterfall, bird bath, and hydroponic systems.
- Adjustable Flow Rate: With a flow control valve, the fountain pump can be adjusted up to 480 GPH (1800 L/H) to fit your need; Recommanded H-Max (Lift height): 5 ft; The pump operates on the principle that higher lift results in lower flow rate. 480 GPH is the theoretical flow rate at zero lift; the actual output decreases with pipe resistance, lifting height.
- Compact Size: 3.5" x 2.3" x 2.75" (L x W x H); length of power cord: 6 ft; optional 2 outlets: Fits 1/2”, 5/8“ID (inside diameter) tubing; 4 pcs of strong suction cups keep it stays in place
- Why is my pump not working properly? To ensure the water pump operates properly, the following steps must be taken: Submersion Requirement‌: The pump must be fully submerged in water. Debris Clearance: If the impeller is jammed by debris (e.g., fish waste, algae, gravel), causing the pump to stop working, disassemble the housing to remove obstructions and check pipe connections for kinks or blockages to resume normal operation. ‌Air Removal‌: For the first startup or after water replacement, gently shake the pump to expel any trapped air inside; air trapped in the pipe or the pump may cause "gurgling" noises and the pump failure due to airlock.
- Package Includes: 1x 480 GPH Fountain Pump, 1x 5 ft 1/2” Tubing, 2x Outlet Adapters

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a kids water table
*by S***N on July 11, 2025*

Works real well for a kids water table. It is quiet and the unit is a lot smaller than I expected. The water flow is very strong. Maybe even too strong for the table.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by J***S on May 6, 2024*

The pump has good flow for my three foot fountain. I had to do some gerryrigging and ad libing to make the connection work. I needed to make a reducer to fit to my fountain. Overall, better than the last pump I bought, which didn't have enough oomph to make a decent flow of water. Good value.
