Sunterra 137016 Extra Large Fountain Pump, 320 GPH, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are a number of different Sunterra brand pumps, all with different capacities. It is hard to determine which one you need. Maybe this will help. This one pumps through an algae light, about fifteen feet of 1/2" tubing, three 90 degree fittings and up through a fountain that is about two feet tall. The water squirts up almost two feet above that, through three nozzles. This is at the pump's maximum flow setting. Perfect! I kind of had to guess which one to order and was a little worried because I wouldn't return a used pump if it was my mistake.

Note that small pumps are sensitive to sharp turns in fittings, various filters,any sort of kink in the tubing and the length of the tubing, and of course the height of any fountain.

It is quiet and comes with a nicely coiled and quite long cord. I particularly like the three screw-in adaptors for different sized hose. It fits the Sunterra brand hose (reviewed not so favorably by me).

I have the pump mounted in the recommended Sunterra filter box and that is a nice and simple way to do it. My big pond required a big remote pump and lots of fancy piping. This is a lot easier.

Note that the adapter is straight up and the tubing will not bend 90 degrees, so that if your pond is not deep (and it shouldn't be with this little pump) the tubing will arc way up out of the water and look bad. I used a short piece of tubing and a 90 degree el to get the tubing to stay under water on its way out of the pond to the UV light. You might look into some of the fittings this company offers.

Sunterra is, I believe, a Bosch company and so I have faith that this is going to be a reliable pump as long as the filter box is kept clean and the water level is maintained.
