Luponds Energy Efficient Submersible Pond Pump — 13000LPH

Key Features

What size pond or feature is the 13,000 LPH pump suitable for?

With 13,000 litres per hour of flow and a 5.0m maximum head, this pump suits small to medium ponds, garden waterfalls, water blade spillways and smaller water wall installations. If you're running a larger filter or a bigger feature, the higher-output Luponds 30,000 LPH pump may be a better match — check our Pond Pump Buying Guide to size correctly.

Can this pump be installed out of the water?

Yes. It's suitable for both submersible and non-submersible (dry) installation. For dry installation, the pump must sit lower than the water surface so water reaches it by gravity feed, as it is not self-priming. Note the warranty is 2 years for submerged installation but only 1 year for dry installation.

Does it work with a WiFi speed controller for scheduling and energy savings?

Yes. This is an asynchronous (fixed-speed) pump, which makes it compatible with our 1200W WiFi Variable Speed Pump Controller, letting you dial flow down to 10% and schedule reduced running overnight or in cooler months for further energy savings.

Is it safe to use in a saltwater or marine pond?

Yes, the pump is suitable for both fresh water and marine garden ponds. It is not suitable for swimming pools, chlorinated water, or use with chemicals or solvents.

What's covered under warranty?

The pump carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects and motor failure when installed submerged, 1 year when installed dry, and 1 year on the impeller. The impeller set and O-ring are exhaustible items and are not covered. Running the pump dry, using it with chemicals, or cutting the power cable will void the warranty.

How often does the pump need cleaning?

Luponds recommends cleaning the impeller and impeller chamber at least once a month to maintain strong flow. Restricted flow from a dirty impeller can cause overheating and permanent motor damage, which is not covered under warranty.
