Aquascape 180 GPH Statuary and Fountain Pump

We haven’t had the pump for a long time, but so far it’s working quite well.

The media could not be loaded. When buying pumps it is hard to know how many gallons per hour (GPH) your pump should pump to get the flow you want. My bear fountain has a 21 inch rise. Aquascape makes 75, 90, 180 and 320 GPH pumps. The max height is 2, 3, 4, and 5.5 feet rise. What you need is the table they have on their box, see photo, showing the max flow for each pump. In the case of the 180 GPH pump it is 180 GPH at 0 feet (straight through), 125 GPH at 2 feet, 95 GPH at 3ft and 0 GPH at 4.1 ft. So don't buy the pump if you have a 4 ft rise because you will get no water. Even having this table the question is how much of a bubble will you get for X amount of GPH. In my case I had a 21 inch height, the 180 GPH model, .5 inch tube going from the pump into a 1/4 inch tube through the fountain (bear) and running it full open I got about a 1 inch bubble as shown in the attached video. In other words get a bigger pump than you think you need and you can always slow the flow.Also they say not to run this pump dry. It makes a loud noise you can hear if you do run it dry.

The media could not be loaded. I was hoping I would get a stronger flow of water as I replaced a 90 GPH pump, but it still sounds the same. It's still an OK pump for my needs.

Excelente 👌 100%

Works great when it actually works.I had it running for a month before the motor started giving out. Randomly would give issues with sound but would stop for the most part. Used as a water feature in a bio active terrarium under the structure, wouldn't recommend this for such thing since it lacks longevity.

Using this for a homemade fountain. Total lift is 28 inches into 3 wine bottles. I get a decent (little more than a trickle) amount of water from each of the three bottles. Expected a little more flow than that but, in the end, it's perfect for the fountain.

I previously wrote a video game in this spot...sorry! This was my 3rd pump, and they have all performed beautifully! Definitely will buy another when needed. They last about 3 years.
