Either use vertically or horizontally. having two outlet allows the
pump to run a second function such as a filter and waterfall, a spillway with
two inlets etc, without the need for "tee" |

Our observations
|
|
What we liked:
Superb quality. they have two outlets making is perfect for running
a filter and waterfall or any two separate systems at the same time.
Some of our waterfall spillways have two inlets making this pump
perfect. We are happy that they can run 24/7. They can be used
either in the vertical or horizontal positions. Very quite. |
|
Less than ideal:
They can not be used in salt water |
|
Possible drawbacks:
The price point is higher than the similar pumps we
stock, but they they are wonderful value to money based on quality. This type of pump while very powerful for
the price, does tend to use more electricity than purpose designed
pond pumps |

- The higher the water is pumped the less the flow, until the
maximum pumping height is reached. It is critical that this is understood, this
height is where the water stops flowing.
