Do youthink the smallest pump is it still to big for a 50 galon pond? The flow is it adjustable?

I have it in a tank holding about 30 gallon and running a 36" fountain pot . total head is about 5' and it does great.

The flow is not adjustable. The size of pump depends on the lifting requirement for your pond flow.

I have the pump for up to 1000 gallons, it doesn't seem to work too well and it's DEFINITELY NOT overpowered. I would have to go to the larger size to get the power and pumping action I need in my 850 gallon pond. I cannot begin to guess about a 50 gallon pond/pump.

depends how small of a pond really. These are all rated at gallons/minute in water distribution.....so you can look at each pump from that perspective....I use this one in a fountain that needs to shoot water up the tube four feet high...it does it easily.....:-)

This pump will produce a bubble out flow surface about 8-9 ft in diameter that obscures viewing. It might be a bit large for 1000 gallons pond. We find it works well for our 6000 gallon pond.

Nope, if hidden properly it would actually be very nice, might want to go with a pump rated for larger than 100 gal so you get a nice flow

Yes, water flow is limited. I periodically refresh the water in my pond and it takes much longer with this hose. It's great otherwise.

Greetings; As far as I could figure, the flow rate was NOT adjustable at all. Attaching the different little spray nozzles is really the only "adjustment" available on this unit. We enjoyed it and were very disappointed when it didn't even last the summer. Hope you have better luck if you purchase!!

The pump comes with an adapter to fit several sizes. 1" i.d. is an option. You will need to cut the adapter at the one inch connection to get maximum flow.

I use mine for a small pond. The bag flops when it gets heavy so you have to change it often. I does the job!

I don't know if you know it or not but the pump has a dial in the front to adjust the flow of water. It's a bit hard to see which way is higher or lower but it works.

Our pump is at the bottom of a 38 inch Koi pond. It pumps 28 inches above the water line, with a moderate flow through our filter down a rock waterfall and back into our pond. It has been doing this for over a year, at least 10 hours a day. I will say, the flow has diminished this last week. We will pull the pump and check for debris. Meanwhile, to answer your question, we are over 5.5 feet. I feel 6 feet will reduce the flo, but will do the job.

This may be a little far for this small pump to handle. It does well up to 100'.

Yes, I purchased this pump for a small outdoor fountain and it works great.

If you are asking if the water holes adjust from larger to smaller they do not. Can adjust width of spray area and water volume flow but that's all.

NO it should work nicely, this is an awesome pump, our pond is about the same and it works great!

It's a really good pump/waterfall set. Just be careful not to run the lawn mower over the pumps cord - that's sadly what happened with mine and I haven't found a better pump since to replace it - I may be buying another one of these in the near future. Good luck with your pond

No. Hose size changes based on pond size and can be bought for around 20$ unless you have a massive pond requiring long large hose.

I have three of these, two in a koi pond and a small one in an aquarium. For the small pump I short out the two inside outlets with a short piece of tubing and run two lines to the aquarium. For the larger pumps with eight outlets I short out four on each pump. One pump runs to one end of the pond and the other one to the other end. The runs are long and go deep. Using only 4 of 8 outlets gives much higher output. I have found that you should not leave any outlets disconnected. You lose too much air. I really like these pumps.
