Danner 700 GPH with a !/2" outlet I need to to run a spitter fountain about 5 feet which is 28" what size pump will do the job can anyone help please what gph do I need.?

I hope I understand your question correctly. At 5 feet above the water surface, these pumps experience a reduction in flow of about 50%. Example a pump rated at 700gph actually has a flow of 400gph at 5 feet above waterline. To visualize the flow, imagine your garden hose pointed upward with the valve about 1/3 open... at 400gph the stream of water would rise about 6 inches before topping out. If that is enough water then a 700gph pump is enough. If you buy a 950gph or 1200gph you can restrict the outflow with a plastic valve from your hardware store if it is too much. If you already have the fountain, try connecting your garden hose and adjust the tap to the ideal flow rate. Then disconnect the hose while leaving the water running and then let the water run into a pail for 1 minute. Then measure the water that has ran into the pail and multiply by 60 to get gph. Then take that total and multiply by 1.75 and also by 2. The two calculated numbers will give you an idea of the minimum sized pump and the maximum sized pump you will need.

I don't think this one will do the trick. . . It's not that high-powered. We've also had to replace parts on it. It's not working now and we will probably get another kind in the spring.

That's a long haul... Hope the point is not too deep.... Anyway the pump inlet is 1 1/4 so you'll want to adapt down from 1.5 pipe to 1.25 right near the pump

This pump is an excellent pump for the money and has run in my pond 24/7 for 3 years now. I used 1" tubing with mine, however you can get a variety of barbed adapters for other size tubing at Lowes and Home Depot. The inlet hole in the pump itself is 1.5 inches, however, it comes with an adapter that allows you to use 1" tubing which is the option that I chose. Larry Tucker lwtucker@morrisbb.net

1- 1/2 inch. I also bought an AY McDonald 4420-465 2069 1-1/2 Silent Sump Check Valve for the outlet. Cost around $20. Pump works great on my basement utility sink. very satisfies so far.

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.

I don't rember,but the specs from mfg I believe say 1/4 in.---they are larger than that. I took filter--same size outlet as pump--to store and fit that to size needed.

The in and out pipe size for the pump is 1.1/2" FPT. I would use a union the same pipe size as the inlet pipe to the pump and a 1.1/2" union on the discharge side.

Only 1/4", you can get reducers to go from one size to another. However if you are looking at the kind of flow needed for a half inch line, you will need a lot larger pump.

The average hose will carry about 3 gallons per minute - that means that you could conceivably put about 180 1 gph emitters on a hose. But there are other factors involved, such as how long the hose is, how much water you actually have available, etc. Hope this helps and thanks for the question.

I too have a very limited space for a connection in my utility compartment. Solution; the Viper 2' extension hose. It's made by Valterra Products. Camping World part number 74361. $15.79 on sale. I attached the FloJet pump to this extension hose and was able to lay it in my compartment. I then routed the blue 1" line from the FloJet out the bottom hatch of my compartment. Without the viper extension, it would be almost impossible to use the FloJet. My sewer connection was just mounted in a poor location! Hope this helps

Hi D.Lee , i run a pump 8500 LPH through the uv connected by flexible hose approx 25 mm into a solid pressure pipe that is 32 mm . The uv works well at this speed but im sure any less pressure it would work even better . The size of hose you use would depend on the amount of litres per hour pump you are using as a smaller pipe would restrict the flow . Any decent plumbing supplier will help you, no probs at all !!

The pump that came with my kit says "254 GPH". The pump is good quality and has four outlets and a dial to adjust air output. This pump easily drives all four of the airstones in my system, delivering a nice shower of tiny air bubbles. I suspect the output is high enough to drive two more airstones (six total).

Yes, they all require a separate pump that goes in the water. The model your looking at needs a pump that does 400-700 gph.....it's about $30 hope this helps!

We attached our discharge hose to 2" PVC and routed it to our 1500 gal water tank. Works great. At least one Discharge hose first, of a length of your choosing, then PVC- will give you room to shift the pump as necessary.

The pump ships with a short length of 1/4" hose to connect between the fitting and a distribution splitter. 1/4" is the correct size. I purchased 3/8 based on this answer, and it's very loose fitting.

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!

That pump is set up for a 2" pipe. Reducing it to 1 1/2" will not work, especially if used for sewage.
