This 120-volt electric water pump is suitable for use in larger water features or backyard ponds. The attached filter keeps debris from entering and damaging the pump to ensure longevity. Place the pump wherever you'd like, ensure the pump is on a clean, stable surface, and connect a spray head. The adjustable flow control valve on the included water flow part allows the outflow of water to be regulated for the desired water movement. This low energy pump includes a longer 6' electrical cord with 3 prongs so it is safe to be used in most outdoor settings.
