## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the maximum lift?**
A: At this web page:  www.hydrofarm.com/p/AAPW550  it says that it is rated "Static Head (ft) 7.9".  So if I understand correctly, that is sorta the "max lift" number.  At 7.9 feet, the water stops going up, so this will work at anything lower than that... but the taller, the slower.  http://www.pumpfundamentals.com/what%20is%20head.htm

**Q: can you put a hose on the intake side of the pump for a filter?**
A: Yes, once you take the filter assembly off, you'll find 3/4" NPT thread (standard American 3/4"). I bought a 3/4" npt to hose thread adapter.

**Q: what size tubing or hose does it take, and is it powerful enough for a waterfall box?**
A: Mine came with several sizes of hose attachments. It goes from 1/2" to 1".  It would have to be a small box and the height. I ran a rain garden with one and the rules I go by is for every hundred GPH you can go up a foot but the higher you go the less flow. Mine is only 2 foot up into an upper pool and I get about a foot wide over flow about 2" deep. I hope this help.

**Q: how high will it pump**
A: I built solar heater for pool.  300’ of half inch tubing.  Pump unable to pump through the hose. I had to buy 1/3 hp motor.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ pump still working over two years!
*by R***H on March 10, 2020*

Love increased waterfall, prior pump had smaller diameter hose, no wonder flow was less. This pump came with several adapters and I do have extra hoses of different sizes, nothing additional to purchase. I made my own small pool and cracked concrete curbing for raised water feature. I love the water sound on lowest setting, unit is quiet!! I have to add water every two days due to evaporation here in So CA. This pump was expensive for me, I hope to attach a timer soon, hate to run for 24 hrs a day. Larger leaves still falling into pool, not plugging up filter at this time. Very nice product.EDIT: pretty nice, I paid $57.00 03/2020 and now is $61.00 04/2022. Still works well. Only drawback is fiber in chamber is wearing smaller. I have to find a scrubbie size filter to make this up to par. I only have large leaves fall- winter. I use kitchen colander to sweep out leaves and bark. For me, a great product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite and Powerful
*by J***Y on July 25, 2024*

Active Aqua Submersible Water Pump, 800 GPH, for my cold plunge tub, and it works perfectly. It efficiently circulates the water, maintaining a consistent temperature, and operates almost silently, which is a huge plus.Installation was easy, and the pump feels solid and reliable. The compact design fits well in my setup without taking up much space.Overall, I highly recommend this pump for anyone with a cold plunge tub. It’s quiet, powerful, and does the job excellently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great submersible pump for aquaponics and hydroponics
*by B***Y on March 6, 2016*

Great little pump. Works well in my small aquaponics system. Just remove the filter to maintain flow and chop up fish waste for mineralization in media beds. This pump was "overkill" for my original project, but it ended up working out well as my system expanded. Since installing it in my aquaponics system, it has also been used in a hydroponic reservoir to deliver water to NFT channels and a Dutch "Bato" bucket system. This pump is coming up on a year of almost continuous use and is still pumping away. I will be buying a second one soon for a separate project. Be sure to measure your head hight and cross check the efficency on this pump with how much water you want to move at that measured height.Pros: curve chart (head and GPH) is accurateLong life with continuous usepretty quiet for its sizepowerful and great for the priceCons: cant think of any
