The description says for max flow use 1 1/4 to 1/1/2" tubing. My pond is plumbed with 1" ribbed flexible tubing throughout. Will that cause problems

No because we have a bigger hose on it and it works perfect, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Honestly im not really sure i know it has a good amount of pressure. The smaller hose may just cause less flow. Smaller pump would be cheaper and hose would fit too.

I don't believe it will matter other than it will reduce the flow somewhat. The only thing you will need to do is attach a fitting on the output of the pump to accommodate a 1 inch tube. If you are using the tetra filter you will need to to the same thing there as well.

you can use 1/4 inch outer diameter, .170 inch inner diameter tubing with one of the adapters.

I used 1/4 I/D was a bit small but heated the tubing end up with a lighter and it fit the pump good. But don't buy this pump, it works ok but doesn't move much water. I would definetly get a larger one.

I do not have it in front of me, but I believe 1-1/8" max capacity is correct; it is primarily for copper pipes.

Hi Dave You will need a 1/4" quick connect tee and 1/4 tubing. You can adapt to larger tubing if you want more flow to you faucet. You might want a valve too. Should be quick and easy.

Probably not plus you'll have a lot of splashing from the output. I imagine you could extend the intake and out take tubes but it's probably not a good idea. I leave mine running during water changes but I'm in around that 8" mark.

That pump is set up for a 2" pipe. Reducing it to 1 1/2" will not work, especially if used for sewage.

You Can't submerge this Pump. You will need 10 to 20 feet of tubing to reach the Bottom of your Pond. I use a Ring Diffuser that I purchased off of Amazon...Danner 14580 Large Ring Air Diffuser 7 Inch. I have had my Pump running for 3 Straight Months with no Issues. It will work just fine for you, and should keep your Pond from Freezing over!

Depends on how much water flow you want. I drilled two 1/64 inch holes, one on each side, about one inch from the bottom, and was satisfied with that. Drilled a second one at 1/32 inch and decided it was too much, for my use. Remember, you can always make the hole larger. Smaller, not so much.....

You should only have a flow rate of 1/2 gallon per minute at max. The slower you run it the better filtration you will have.

Keep in mind that all of the interconnecting tubing is 1/4" and that the entire system is designed using 1/4" tubing. Imagine water running through a 1/4" tube and you connect that tube to a 3/8" tube. The flow is still limited by the 1/4" tubing. The flow and throttled pressure would remain the same.

I just measured the tubing which goes from the tank to a small filter and then to the faucet and it is 1/4 inch outside diameter. Why would you want to change it to 3/8 inch? The 1/4 inch line has a great stream when the tank is full. Hope this helps.

Should work although flow rate will be determined by tubing diameter and length of run...ie it'll work, just might not be super fast

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

I'm not sure of the sizing of the fittings that you reference, but I use hard pvc couplers, etc. that I purchase at Home Depot with the flexible pipe for my pond. They do need to be glued together. If you're using a fitting that goes into the flexible pipe, it's helpful to put the end of the pipe in hot water 1st and it makes it more flexible.

It may be 1/2 flow but 3/4 inch threading.... Like when you measure PVC pipe it's the size of the inner diameter, not the outside, so 1" is slightly larger than 1"

You have the wrong size unit. You need the 1.5" unit and it will work just fine else you will need to split the flow.
