Sunterra’s clean water fountain pumps provide the appropriate water flow for varying fountain sizes and have a one year limited warranty. They operate efficiently for extended periods of time with no regular maintenance. These pumps should be used in clean water to avoid any interference with pump operation. The lift of the pump is important to consider when the pump is required to power a fountain, feature, stream or waterfall. The lift is the number of gallons a pump will push per hour to a specific height. This particular Fountain pump is 30 Gallons per hour and has a 1.8 foot maximum lift. It has a six foot power cord, is 120 Volts and is UL listed.

Small & Strong I have a small bowl and this fountain pump is small enough to fit in and generates the strong bubbling sound effect, I am very satisified with the result. Sometimes the pump with larger water volume creates louder pumping machinary noise than the bubble water sound itself. This little pump is quiet, the water bubbling sound is musical as it should be. The only ‘improvement’ I can think of will be the tight curly electrical cable, I used plenty of little rocks and pebbles to stablized the little pump to stay at the center of the bowl.
Excellent for my purpose My pump on my small desk fountain stopped working. I have one of those fountains that is maybe 1/2 to 3/4 foot tall, roundish, has 2 layers stacked up in the middle, supported by plastic, with large rocks around the base and middle and top levels. Pump goes in the bottom middle and shoots to the underside of the top layer if that makes sense (i.e. the water doesn’t shoot up and out of the fountain, it hits the top plastic then flows over the edges in a nice waterfall formation). Anyway this pump worked just fine for that purpose. I had to turn the level down a bit – it was a bit too powerful at first – there is a “volume” switch for about 3 or 4 different levels of how high it will pump. Also, it made quite a bit of noise at first, so I let it run for an hour or so and the noise cleared right up and now it runs quietly and smoothly. I do agree the cord is quite thick compared to the pump, so I used rocks to wedge it into place. So for my purposes, I have a working fountain again.
very quiet, durable I’ve been running this pump constantly in a table top fountain for over a year and it has worked perfectly. It’s very quiet, the quietest and smoothest pump I’ve ever found. No loud noises, no strong vibration. The cord is heavy duty and well insulated, which is a good thing. Even when the fountain is barely burbling, I can’t hear the pump at all 10 feet away.I made a makeshift pump housing from a hydroponic/vanda orchid plant pot (basically a hard plastic mesh pot) to stabilize the pump, hold it off the bottom of the fountain, and support the fountain components. The pump not touching the bowl makes a quiet pump even quieter.I would’ve preferred a pump that moves only 10 or 15 GPH, because my fountain’s bowl is only 13 inches across, and this one is too strong. I managed to deflect some of the water column by how I designed the fountain. The pump’s water flow can be reduced with the slider thingie, but that increases the vibration noise slightly and potentially shortens the life of the pump by forcing it to work harder to push water through a narrower opening.
