Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "high head" mean?
A: "High head" refers to the pump's ability to maintain strong flow rates when pumping water to significant heights. This pump is designed for applications requiring substantial vertical lift, such as tall waterfalls.
Q: Where should I install an external pump?
A: External pumps should be installed in a dry, protected location near your pond - typically in a pump vault, shed, or covered area. They must be protected from weather and positioned for easy access to maintenance.
Q: How high can this pump lift water?
A: Maximum lift height depends on the desired flow rate. As lift height increases, flow rate decreases. Consult the pump curve specifications to determine flow rates at various head heights for your specific application.
Q: Is this pump energy efficient?
A: Yes! The EX Series is designed for optimal energy efficiency, delivering high flow rates while minimizing power consumption compared to less efficient pump designs.
Q: What maintenance does this pump require?
A: Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the intake strainer, inspecting seals and connections, and ensuring proper operation. The external placement makes maintenance much easier than submersible pumps.
