Tsurumi Submersible Vertical Pumps
Tsurumi Submersible Pumps for Professional Water Feature Applications are energy efficient pumps and designed for continuous duty applications, known for their reliable operation . Tsurumi’s PN series pumps have had a successful presence in the water feature market for close to a decade. The PN series provides a good match for ponds with higher heads or require a vertical style pump housing. All PN/PU pumps have a suggested pipe diameter of 2" and have a 2" female discharge and run on 115v . If converting from an AquascapePro 3000, 4500, 7500 pump to these Tsurumi PN Pumps - You must have the Check Valve Tsurumi Adpter Kit #29652 to enable the Tsurumi to fit in the Aquascape Skimmer box. NOTE: This pump should be stored in water to assure that the seals do not dry out, but should be started while still submerged in the water for a few seconds during the winter months so the barrier between the seals and shaft do not fuse together

SELECTING A PUMP : Choosing a pump for a water garden should be based on a few job requirements. Desired flow, pumping height and electrical costs are all factors that need to be considered. The higher the pump needs to push water, the less flow you are going to get out of that pump. Pond Kits come with pumps sized to turn a pond over at least once per hour. Make sure your pump application follows the same guideline. If your applications' pumping height is close to maximum pump shut off height, substitute the next larger pump available.
Dimensions of 3PN, 4PN, 8PN: 15 7/8" Tall x 9 5/8" Wide x 6 11/16" Diameter Cylinder

New 12PN Pump from Tsurumi Aquascape is excited to announce the debut of the new 11,500 GPH 12PN pump from Tsurumi. The 12PN is designed for water features that use Large Snorkels(tm) and Grande Skimmers. Tsurumi's engineers have hydraulically designed the new 12PN for operation on water feature projects with as little as 1-foot of head. This makes specifying projects very easy, since there is no concern about low-end operating ranges. The 12PN pump includes a 3-inch discharge making this pump an interchangeable option with the AquascapePRO(tm) 10,000 pump. The 12PN is easy to install and service due to its compact and light-weight design.Tsurumi 12PN Fast Facts: *Max Flow Rate - 11,500 gph *Hydraulic design allows the pump to be operated with as little as 1-ft of head *Best Efficiency Point- 7,000 gph @ 11 ft of head *3-inch discharge makes it Interchangeable with AquascapePRO(tm) 10,000 *Durable cast iron volute, stainless housing and fiberglass reinforced plastic cap *Excellent energy efficiency in its class - 1032 Watts = $75.29/mo operating cost* *Compact and light-weight - 15" H x 11 5/8" W x 7 11/16" and 31.9 lbs *2-Year Warranty

Proper plumbing is very important!!!
Your pump can only work as well as your plumbing system allows it to. A larger pump does not always mean more water. A larger pump and larger pipe does mean more water. You can only fit a certain amount of water through a certain size hose. 1"hose= 1,500gph 2" hose= 5,400gph 1-1/4" hose= 2,700gph 3" hose= 13,500gph 1-1/2" hose= 3,600gph 4" hose= 21,000gph For example: If you have a pump that is rated for 7,200gph and you are using a 2" flex hose. You are only going to get about 5,400gph coming out at the end of the pipe. Yes, head height, elbows, etc. have a factor in it also but I am trying to keep it simple and make a point. If you need more GPH, try using 2 hoses or upsize to a larger diameter hose.
