Maintain powerful, reliable water movement with the Simplicity Adjustable DC Return Pump.
Available in four sizes from 1,000 to 3,200 gallons per hour, these energy-efficient pumps are designed to circulate water between an aquarium’s filtration system and display tank.
The included digital controller lets you increase or decrease the flow to match your aquarium and plumbing system. A convenient feed mode pauses the pump for 10 minutes during feeding or routine maintenance before automatically resuming operation.
Quiet performance, adjustable flow and multiple included fittings make the Simplicity DC Pump a practical choice for freshwater, saltwater and reef aquariums.

Adjustable Flow Control
Every aquarium and plumbing system creates a different amount of resistance. The included controller allows you to adjust the pump’s output without installing a restrictive valve or replacing the pump.
Increase the flow for higher-demand systems or reduce it to match your overflow, filtration equipment and desired turnover rate.
Convenient Feed Mode
Press the feed button to pause water flow for 10 minutes during feeding or aquarium maintenance. The pump automatically resumes operation after the feed cycle, helping prevent the system from being accidentally left off.
Choosing the Correct Pump
Pump selection should be based on aquarium volume, vertical head height, plumbing length, pipe diameter, elbows, valves and connected equipment. The advertised maximum flow is measured without the resistance created by aquarium plumbing.
Actual flow at the aquarium will be lower after accounting for head pressure and plumbing restrictions. Select a model that provides enough remaining flow at your system’s operating head height.
