Review on 🐠 PULACO 10W 160GPH Submersible Pump + Tubing for Aquariums, Fish Tank, Pond Fountain, Statuary, Hydroponics, Water Feature, Indoor Fountains by Sarah Dionne

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor performance in aquarium pumps and filters

I bought this pump to replace a fountain pump and it has run flawlessly and basically 24/7 for over 3 years. This pump is rated at 160 GPH (like my previous pump), 10 watts and has a 4.0 foot lift factor. My fountain is a small urn that stands on a small pedestal. The pump is needed to lift the water from the base about 20 inches and then pour it down the sides of the tank. Although the manufacturer rates this pump at 160 GPH, it can barely lift water 20 inches, let alone the advertised 48 inches. At best, this pump had to be rated at 80 gallons per hour. It was a waste of the $18 I spent. I can't return it as I had to cut off the hose that came with it to install the pump.

Pros
  • Provides a comfortable and quiet environment
Cons
  • weak
