Could this pump work with an in-ground pond. Pump sitting 6 inches above the water level?

Oh yeah!! We have one. It's a typical set up with the pump below the intake, but with the force we get out of the exhaust port, it'll work. I would think it would be fine.

Colin, As long as the intake water is filtered. I'm certain that pump's not designed to handle gray water.

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps.Good luck :)L

I think it would, because the drain is at the bottom of the barrel. My question is how will you get it in place uphill. You'll have to level it somehow, s then it should work fine. I love mine!

Good Evening Ana Laura Lewellen. If your well is a shallow well with above ground equipment, Yes the pump will work. Are you using the existing expansion tank?

Yes, that will work. Be mindful that you don't try to run it through 3/4 for more than a few feet though. It's a great little pump!

It will work fine, but because it uses a water hose to create the vacuum effect, you might have to remove some water from your pond after you vacuum.

Yes, that is how mine is set up (pump is on the second floor though). As long as the water can circulate in a loop, you should not have any problem. I believe that "head", in this case, is referring more to resistance than actual height. This pump is just made to move water, not pressurize it, so it should work at any height as long as the water is "falling" back down to where it is drawn from without much resistance. At least that's how I understand it.

Height and distance is probubly the issue, my 1800 pumps great with my 3ft high water fall about 10 ft from my pond,there is two ports on the skimmer make sure the othe is closed and that the pump is working

Do you mean the circumference of your pond is 14' or the diameter? If it's the circumference I'd say yes, definitely; this pump puts out a lot of air! It was too much for my 600 gallon, so I keep it as a backup. Even if you're talking about a 14' diameter, I think you'll find it's plenty.

That is the hight that the pump can pump, but I'm not sure if it actually will because I didn't need mine to pump that high. Hope this was helpful.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

Yes, it should. Depending on the depth of the water, you may want to put the pump on a brick or something placed in the bottom so that the fountain nozzle is above the water line. Check the fountain spray with the various nozzles to make sure that it doesn't spray beyond the outside of your barrel, or you'll lose all your water fairly quickly and ruin the pump. We had it in a two-foot diameter birdbath and had to watch it pretty carefully.

I would contact the manufacturer about that specifically, but I don't see why not. We use it to empty our yard when it floods so it sits in inches of water and pumps it at a good speed.

i would say yes ...THis pump is not made for a head over 5-6 ft.Perfect for a location not easy to get electric to.Good luck

I have this pump and filter on a 24'x54" above ground and it is more than capable. I love it and I don't think you will go wrong with this set up.

It's only about 6 feet. We use an exterior extension cord buried just below the ground running to the garage in a pvc pipe. This pump is not very big-it's like a 10 gallon fishtank pump. I am looking at finding a bigger one. This one does not have enough power to circulate our little 6 foot pond.
