  • Powerful for small ponds
Style: 1100 GPH
I purchased this unit (Hydrofarm AAPW1000 92-Watt 1000 GPH Indoor/Outdoor pump) on April 25, 2022 and wrote this review on June 15, 2022. I am using the Hydrofarm for my small ornamental pond which holds about 340 gallons. This pump is powerful for my needs! I replaced my old anemic VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump(3000L/H, 24W) which failed after one year in the hopes of a more audible water sound, better water circulation and oxygen generation and less overall clogging. TLDR; huge improvement, night-and-day difference. The pump itself below the water level makes zero noise. I removed the silly foam "filter" as this would have clogged instantly in my natural water conditions (string algae, lily roots, snails, goldfish, etc). I do not have a bog filter at this time. I have a small rock fountain set about 3 feet high from the water surface. This pump sits about 1 1/2 feet below the water surface on the bottom resting on the pond liner amongst the muck and lily roots. The total height rise is about 5 feet using 3/8 inch diameter clear tubing. I used the provided nipple that came with the pump. The tubing runs about 6-7 feet in length along the back of the rocks in a few gentle S-bends climbing to the falls/fountain top. I have the flow-shutter completely closed and it provides my falls with an energetic flow rate and a small river sound (almost too loud at night falling 2 1/2 feet). Every few weeks I will simply open the flow valve a little (1/2 turn) to clear out the muck in the intake while I skim or cleanup dead lily pads and the flow rate roars back to life over the falls/fountain edge almost instantly, then I close it again for the minimum flow. Very pleased so far. My next update to this review will be done in about a year. ... show more

  • Great Pump
Style: 250 GPH
Just got my 4th one of these, they're quiet and powerful. I have two mounted externally and two submersed and they all run great. My office chair is about 4 feet from the two external pumps and most of the time I can't even hear them run.

  • Little pump does its job!
Style: 160 GPH
Purchased this pump to power an irrigation system I set up for our papaya tree. Papayas are notoriously thirsty and when we are away for a few days I will put this “system” in operation. The pump lifts a decent amount of water three feet (vertically) and then moves it another 15 feet to the papaya’s pot. I have set up a timer so it pumps for the exact time I need and I adjusted the slider on the pump’s housing so the right amount of water is delivered. It works perfectly for what I need. It is a small pump so it isn’t going to “power” a large system or move huge amounts of water- but what I need it for it works perfectly! ... show more

  • 1100 GPH - Why 5/8” Outlet?
Style: 1100 GPH
For the short time that I've used this pump, it was amazing! The power of this puppy was well worth the money, and the materials seem quality. I was able to drain a 55-gallon container and pump the water up 6ft with LOTS of pressure in like 5-minutes. A+ suction power. The only issue I had, which is why I deducted the star, was the company’s dumb choice to add a 5/8” outlet. That is such a random size and it limits PVC applications. I bought this used a couple of years ago for a project that never really happened. I was a total novice to pumps and had no clue what I needed or about fitting sizes. While working on another project recently, I remembered that I had this pump and tried to work it into the project. However, because of the ridiculous 5/8” outlet fitting, hard plumbing this pump with PVC was impossible and soft vinyl tubing was unstable in my configuration under the water pressure from the pump. For this reason, I had to buy a completely different pump for my project instead of upcycling my old junk. It feel so wrong and wasteful , but it had to be done to get my DIY project completed. ... show more
