TetraPond DHP pumps are engineered to circulate large volumes of pond water without clogging. This allows the pump to operate for long periods of time without any maintenance. Water, dirt, and debris are drawn through the quarter inch holes in the large pre-filter cage that surrounds the pump. The pre-filter cage prevents leaves, sticks, and other large debris from entering the pump. It also protects the fish from the pump’s impeller. The open-face impeller allows debris up to 1/4 in. in diameter to pass through the pump without clogging. The pond water with dirt and debris are pumped to an external filter for removal or directly to a waterfall or stream.

Determine how high you waterfall will be from the pond surface. The higher the top of the waterfall is from the pond surfaces, the less flow will result. Take a look at the charts below for the approximate waterfall effect the DHP pumps will create at various pumping heights.

Pond Tips
Pond Circulation: Choose a pump that will circulate 100% of the pond volume in one or two hours. More circulation will result in better pond conditions.
Filters: Be aware that filters reduce the flow to waterfalls and streams. The image on the left shows water pumped at three feet without any filter restriction, while pumping at three feet with a TetraPond pressure filter reduces flow by about 45%.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Once it got a small rock in the impeller. I cleared that jam and it worked again. Nice.
9/3/2021. The motor froze up, with water having gone through the shaft seal. It's done! I'll need a new pump. This one was trouble free while it was up and running, one jam up, easily cleared. It ran great for 3 seasons, rarely even shut it down. Decent pump for the money, but reading some other reviews, it seems that it's a gamble on how long the pump will last.
This is my 3rd pump in this pond and it is by far the most well made. It is rather heavy and a little larger than I expected. The weight isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it keeps it seated at the bottom of the pond.
I gave 4 stars instead of five because it didn’t come with any different fittings, only one large one (I believe it was 1 1/4 in) I ended up having to get all new tubing to my waterfall in order to fit the pump which was inconvenient. All other pumps I have ordered came with a few different size fittings, or even a universal one that you could cut to size, which was what I expected.
However, all in all a good purchase. I have had it about 2 months now and it is still going strong.
Thanksgiving day, we decided to winterize (removed) the pond pump and filter, trimmed all the water plants back. I’ve never thought there would be so much overgrown roots. It was ridiculous! We were so impressed the pump continued to run as well as it did being filled with so much roots. Unfortunately, we lost one of the screws after dismantling the pump. This was disappointing.
I recommend this pump. So far, it has worked very well for us. I highly recommend it for a 350-500+ gallon pond.
