AQUANEAT Fountain Pump 480 GPH - Submersible, 5 ft Lift

Versatile, dependable water circulation with the AQUANEAT Fountain Pump

Designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, this compact submersible pump brings reliable water movement to aquariums, pet fountains, hydroponic systems, and small ponds. It supports up to 480 GPH (1800 L/H) and offers a flow control valve to tailor output for your space. With a recommended lift of up to 5 ft, you can balance height and turnover to create a natural cascade or gentle ripple as needed. The higher the lift, the lower the flow, making it possible to fine-tune performance without swapping parts.

Applications that fit your space

Whether you maintain a tropical tank, power a decorative fountain, refresh a bird bath, or run a compact hydroponic setup, this pump adapts to your needs. Its compact footprint—roughly 3.5" long by 2.3" wide by 2.75" high—keeps it unobtrusive, while a 6 ft power cord provides flexible placement options.

• Wide application: aquarium tanks, indoor fountains, water tables, small ponds, and hydroponics.
• Two outlets and tubing options: supports multiple routing configurations for diverse setups.
• Secure mounting: four suction cups help keep the pump in place on smooth surfaces.

To install, place the pump fully submerged and attach the tubing to the chosen outlet. If you hear gurgling at startup or notice slower flow, gently clear any debris from the impeller and inspect tubing for kinks or blockages. A short shake can help expel trapped air and prime the line after water changes.

What’s included and how to customize

• What’s included: 1x AQUANEAT 480 GPH Fountain Pump, 5 ft of 1/2" tubing, and 2x outlet adapters.
• How to customize: use the flow control valve to tune output up to 480 GPH; actual flow depends on height and pipe resistance.

Maintenance and best practices

Regularly inspect the impeller for debris that can slow or stop the pump. If the unit seems noisy or intermittently stops, ensure it remains fully submerged, remove any debris, and check for kinks in the tubing. After a refill or installation, gently shake the pump to expel trapped air, helping prevent airlock and gurgling sounds.
