what pump do you recommend to use with the fish mate 6000puv w/uv?

We tried using a sump pump but, after awhile, it would trip the breaker and stop working. Now we have a Tera 3600 pond pump. So far it's working great!

Depending on you're pond size I'm using a 1600 gpm on my 1800 gallon pond. Water is crystal clear year round as it is in the sun all day. We did use the blue pond dye and the fish really like it and it is algae free. Good luck

The S244T Hayward filter is a great match for your pool . When you replace your pump make sure you move up to 1hp Or preferably a 1.5 HP pump for this application

Ebay has the same measurements 90GPH pump for around $5 bucks. I purchased it and will see if it works.

I don't have an internal UV in my filter but if you are talking about adding on an external UV then:You want a direct connect from pump-to-filter but from the filter to the pond you have lots of options. My experience is that for a UV to work you need to have the recommended flow rate going to through the UV. Too much water too fast won't work. If this is what you are doing I would split the flow ... 1/2 directly from filter to pond and 1/2 to the UV and then to the pond.

I replaced my 2 hp pump with this one and it works great. No issues at all. You'll be very happy with it.

I have this unit, with UV, running two small fountains, one on the outlet line from a submerged bio filtration canister. My pond is small, oval 110 gal. buried live stock trough. It totally cleared my green water in 4 days. it is over kill for my setup but I'm moving up from tiny to this to larger next year. I would go with 2 in in a 2400 gal set up possibly. Company not great with follow up, UV bulb inop has not sent new one. Real attitude on phone, they wanted 35 bucks + postage for a bulb i git for 13 buck also from Amazon.

I purchased a Coleman 120v Electric Quickpump, it was $20 at Menards. You can also find them in sporting goods stores and maybe Walmart. They are great for inflating airbeds, water floating toys, and work good for these pools. I have purchased a battery operated one but don't recommend as the air flow is not as strong, plug in ones are best.

I have bought replacement impellers for these pumps in the past. I used two of these on my boat to pump the fish wells. I found the impellers at Tongass Trading in Ketchikan Alaskan

You can use any pump but I purchased this one and love it: Beckett Large Fountain Pump, 400 GPH. It really pushes the water and so far has been extremely dependable.

I upgraded my pump to the 2500 GPH and just used the standard skimmer. I never had an issue with the skimmer other than bleaching and breakdown of the plastic from the sun. I found that your bang for the buck is with the pumping system not the skimmer.

You will be ok with the FNSP48 but with the FNSP60, I would recommend a 1.5 or 2hp pump.

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!

Any pump should work... but let me just say mine ended up coming apart after the first season of use

There is a good table of this data via this link to The Marine Depot website. Note that the distance between the pump and the chiller will diminish the flow so you need to keep this in mind when selecting the right pump. http://www.marinedepot.com/Aqua_Euro_USA_Max_Chill_Aquarium_Chiller_1_4_HP_Less_with_a_Built_In_Controller-Aqua_Euro_USA-ED1151-FICHINQCBC-vi.html

Try ones like this: Hopkins 10803 FloTool Transfer Pump. Takes 2 hands, but otherwise cheap and effective. Comes with a hose that connects directly without fittings.

i would buy a colman brand electric pump.. any sporting goods store, or right here at Amazon..i wouldn't suggest using the hand pump that is included in the box unless you have alot of time.

Since the pump current is only switched by this, 1/2 HP is fine. It works great. Get the Zoeller 10‑0763 Aquanot Flood Alert (about $20 online) and some lithium batteries, to go with the replacement setup - especially if you have a finished basement, it's cheap insurance.
