Can this pump be used for an indoor fountain? To my knowledge, the pumpt I am replacing does not have a magnetic drive. What is it?

I bought this for an outdoor pump for my small fountain. I would think it would work for indoor as well but not for sure

I don't know what a madnetic drive is either but if you use this fountain indoors you need a very high fountain! It's got a lot of pressure and you will have splatters all over. You need a pump with very little GPH to use indoors. I ruined my end table with an indoor fountain so I know.

Yes it can be used indoorThis pump is good for 4 ft elevationI don't know what the magnetic drive means but the pump does work well and I do recommend Little Giant brand for quality and durability

The pump is plastic. There is a small thumb like rubber piece for leakage prevention inside where cord goes through. If you have owned the plastic drinkwell fountain? This ceramic Blows It Away!! It is heavy (not too heavy to life) simply must be careful when it's wet, not to slip and drop it.. Keeps water cleaner and cooler and cut my 30 total cleaning including pump.. Down to 10 minutes!!! Plastic fountain I had to clean 2x a week.. This one I only have to do once! It is by far a very smart purchase if your seeking a less slimy, easier fountain to maintain.. My cat and dog both love if.

I don't think so. I think you need the smaller motor. I order this one initially and it was too large for the cat fountain I have. Then I ordered this one, and it is the right size: Pump Replacement for SmartCat Fountains (Pioneer Pet).

The pump does not pump near the volume that the electric does. If you were to have a lot of water coming in it would not keep up. I test mine once a month and it makes very little noise when it shuts off. I do not think it is made for constant use, only as a backup.

it is electric. u could set it up as solor but would have to do it from the pump up. and as p anderson said it does put out more that what it needs to. i fixed this by have it run two fountains on the same pump. with a sock on the main and a valve on the second fountain works great. of coarse u have to set it up with the second fountain dumping into the main where the pump is at.

I've only used the Eheim Compact 3000 as an internal pump, but based on my experience with the 3000 (see my review), I'd recommend you find another pump.

I purchased this model pump to heat my shop from my geothermal well. It works great, but I was not replacing a pump. It was a new application. Have you tried calling or e-mailing Grundfos to ask about the pumps replacement compatibility? I did replace a Bell & Gossett pump that heated my house with a 1/6 HP Grundfos pump. It too works much better & quieter than the Bell & Gosset. When I contacted Bell & Gossett to try and get info about their replacement pumps, oddly the representative their would not give me the Bell & Gossett replacement pump number . I assume it had something to do with their desire to support local contractors/plumbers, but all it did was upset me enough to buy a Grundfos instead of another Bell & Gosset. Best decision I mad. Wouldn't buy another Bell & Gosset. Grundfos is a muc.better pump.

It should not be used indoors either. Mine quit after a month or so. You get what you pay for.

I bought this case for a Paradigm insulin pump but after receiving it, I realized it has a magnetic closure. The pump manufacturer recommends not using magnets near the pump.

I think it will work just fine. For the longevity of the pump, as the water starts to ice up I would put it away until it melts.Great pump and well made!

It not made for that. It's made for pumping out water. In flooded basements, small fish ponds, and over things holding water. They made electric pumps just for fountains. Most fish pond suppliers carry them.

These units are made for computers. There are devices (e.g., Laser Printers) that you shouldn't hook up to this. I don't know whether a pump as a load would be appropriate. Even if it would be OK, there are other similarly-rated units that are cheaper because they don't have the features of this unit, and for a sump pump you wouldn't care about these features. APC's number is 800-800-4272, ask for tech support for more information before buying this unit.

of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... don't buy that PUMP, the info I got from the engineering at of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... is bad I rather buy china Junk. The bearings are low cost they freeze and when you call the warranty, they ask you a zillion questions than they are to get back to you. I am waiting 2 month now , got another pump NO PROBLEM. anything you buy is better than of SHURflo Industrial Pump -...I got the other pump for $33.00 while of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... cost $88.00 and the 38 works 100 times better, and pumps for me 85 FT. up

I just bought my third one which I use in a small fountain. Sometimes it does need cleaning. Check to see if something is stuck inside the pump. Otherwise contact the manufacturer or go to their webpage. Usually customer service can answer questions online.

I bought a 750 GPH fountain pump of which plugs in the wall. You can usually pick one up fairly cheap online.
