can someone tell me the difference between a 'pump' model and a 'pump powerhead' model. do they have the same power output.
1935777
Different model numbers are for gallons per hour the pump is capable of pumping
1935778
one attaches to an under gravel filter the other can be used just to pump water for ciculation or in a fountain

A powerhead is the pump you use in your tank for water circulation in the tank and the pump is what you use to circulate water from your sump thru the filter and back into the tank.

I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder. So the "head" is how high the distance is from the pump to where you want the water to exit the tubing. A pump will pump vastly different amounts of fluid depending on how great that "upward" distance is. The Rio pump I first got was rated very optimistically at 120 gph (gallons per hour) but only if the outlet was at the same level at the inlet with no tubing attached. I attached tubing and starting lifting the hose higher and higher above the pump. The stream got less and less the further I lifted the hose and stopped flowing completely at 32". It took more power than the pump had to get further than this. I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder.

My Beckett pond pump came with a 16' cord, however, I do not know how many watts it consumes without pulling it out of the pond. I can tell you that it seems to be very efficient and I have not noticed any variation in my power bill and the pump has run 24/7 for several years in a 1200 gallon pond with fish and plants. I feel that this pump was a very good deal for the money. I had originally purchased the pump as an interim pump and planned to replace it with a Laguna pump as I really like Laguna's quick connect fittings, however, this Beckett simply will not die. I am very pleased with it and if it dies tomorrow I will have gotten my money's worth! Larry T (Husband of Karanne T)

who makes it? diffrent companies use the term diffrently, itll fit pumps like the aquaclear 50 powerhead but not koralia powerheads

Haven't used the "20" so, the only difference I can see is the grey PVC siphon tube and a "beefed up" vacuum chamber. We like these pumps. Only complaint is the discharge tube. We live in the desert and the sun destroys the discharge tube and they don't make replacements for these models. We wrapped the tube with vinyl tape to protect it. Don't know that there is $2-$3 difference in the two pumps but, we just went with the "30" model.

Hi, Could not find much difference in the models. Mine works just great. Try either one & I believe they will be ok. cwr

I have had two and both worked well. Is it compatible with the model pump that you are using? Are you sure it is plugged in properly?

This is the same pump. I don't have the PSI info, my motorhome is in storage at the moment.

The difference is strictly how many components can be hooked up to it. I believe the H10 is 250 watts and the H15 is 400 watts. They both perform the same for power conditioning and component protection. I bought two H15 units out of an ubundance of caution, when I had more power-hungry components. I've never gone above 50% of the H15's capacity, and as new components become more efficient the percentage will continue to drop. If I was buying one today, I'd be much more likely to select an H10 than before.

It's 1/2 HP. Yes confusing by what some sellers publish because they are "boiler plating" their product information. So don't go by pictures either. When in doubt go directly to manufacturer website and get model information. This is a fantastic pump. Quiet but moreso...efficient.

While it's not the same model number as the one I have, it looks the same and has the same specs. I have no idea what horsepower the motor is, it's not listed anywhere. However it pumps 2000 gallons an hour. Mine is on a 22 ft X 52 inch 11,000 gallon pool and works fine. Runs 6 to 8 hours a day here in semi-tropical south Louisiana. Life expectancy here is 3 to 4 years.

I went to B&D; website and under the specs they said it would vary depending on using the 12 v or 20 volt power head , so if you really have the need ,give their 800 number a call and they can give you the info ! Good luck !

The current draw varies based on the lift or head height you wish to pump the water up to. It is supposed to be a 25 watt pump, drawing 2-2.5 amps. Hope this helps...

Louis, Thanks for reaching out to us. The only difference is the one with the black line has 'updated graphics'. Other than that the pumps are the same. If you have any other questions let us know. Thanks again. Sincerely, Mike Eary Cambria Bicycle Outfitter

Dont remember but I replaced a 1hp pump and this pump was a huge improvement

The sump pump on this is 12volts and is replacable but you should still have a main sump for the primary pumping.Hope this helps Dave

Sorry Zoom, I don't know the answers, I seem to remember having similar questions and looking on the web site for tech specs. We do like the pump, it works perfectly for us.
