Vivosun 1600 gph submersible water pump

Just because you need a pump    Booster Pumps    for your pond or water garden doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to Booster Pumps get one. And the VIVOSUN 1600 GPH Submersible Water Pump is a good example of a solid pond pump that comes at an affordable price.

Behind the durability and solid construction of the Vivosun is silicon carbide. It’s a material known for its strength and resistance to erosion. Both the shaft and the drive ring piece are made from this military-grade material. This increases the pump’s life and gives you a few extra years of service.

The powerful motor has a 1600 gph capacity. That allows it to move the whole water volume of a medium-sized pond in one hour or less. You can use this pump on a pond averaging anything between 3000 gallons to 5000 gallons.

But extra power doesn’t mean more noise. This submersible water pump only outputs 40 dB when running at full capacity. That exceptionally low noise will not disturb the fish in the pond or give you a headache.

Another feature we liked about this pump is how easy it is to install it and get it started without constantly consulting the manual. The portable handle and detachable filter make it easy to adjust and install no matter how deep or shallow your pond is. You can adjust the lift height to up to 13.7 feet, which means it will definitely break the surface of the water and create waves in the pond.

One disadvantage we found with this pump is that the fans get clogged easily. Both debris and algae in the pond tend to stick to the inside of the intake casing. You’ll need to power off the pump to clean the filter system a few times and make sure there’s enough space behind the pump to create a flow.
