DC 12V Brushless Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Submersible Water Oil Pump Ultra Quiet 800L/H 5M/16ft for Fish Tank Fountain Pool Pond Aquarium Solar Circulation System Water Circulation System

Wanted to get the fountain going again, this pump has just the right flow for relaxing sounds. Running off a DIY solar setup: Solar fountain setup for better deck zen 🙂 (2) Cheapo 25watt panels for morning/evening charging. (1) Cheapo charge controller & 7Ah LifePO4 (1) Cheapo pump off AMZ, but it does the trick!

Having now bought 2 of these pumps first one lasted 5 month’s second one 3 months both pumps only running dawn to dusk on a fountain. Both pumps would run but you had to poke a small screwdriver down the outlet hole to start the impeller spinning. Poor QA

It is a brushless magnetic drive!

Made a little sand filter for our pond cleaned up the water and running 24/7

I dunno. I once bought a "large" bench vise that turned out to be so big I literally LOL'd when I managed to get it out of the box. This pump had the same effect on me, but for the opposite reason. I figured some potential buyers (and my fish) would be curious to see it with something to judge the size. "For scale". You'll have to read other reviews for comments on durability or suitability for your application.

Slowly adding 12v solar panels, in series, but no spin yet. Perhaps wattage too low, now up to two 12-25 w 12 v panels. Will re-evaluate if I have success on next really sunny day.

At 18" the power cord on this is way too short. This is probably okay for a very shallow pond, but your connections will be submerged if it's going in a sump tank or 55 gallon drum. Even with waterproof connections (waterproof heatshrink connectors and silicone), I've had issues with the connections corroding very quickly. I've been through 3 of these in about a year as a result.

Worked good in pond then died after 8 months
