Check Your Setup Before Ordering
Confirm your tubing size and required pumping height before purchase. The 3/8-inch outlet may require an adapter or different tubing when replacing a pump with a larger connection.
Actual flow decreases with vertical lift, tubing length, and fittings. Maximum head height is the pump’s lift limit, not the height at which it delivers its full rated flow.
When used for auto top-off, this pump requires a compatible control system; the pump itself does not detect water level. Tubing is sold separately.
