will this pump power a fountain

It not made for that. It's made for pumping out water. In flooded basements, small fish ponds, and over things holding water. They made electric pumps just for fountains. Most fish pond suppliers carry them.

Not a good idea. An electric pump is much better for this if you have electricity at the fountain. The first response is quite correct. This pump is noisy and you would probably be filling the gas tank every hour or more often.

I don't know what kind of fountain you are thinking about, but this thing is super noisy and you'd have to refill the gas every few hours.

I think you could make it work, but you would have to be very careful setting the float switch to de-energize your pump. This setup is not really very accurate for repeatability.

It will certainly power a sump pump but length of time will depend on the draw and the capacity of the unit. Should be able to figure it out.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps.Good luck :)L

Since this pump does not use electricity it should work. You would need to manually turn on the water faucet you've hooked it up to for it to suction water.

i am sure it would work if you dont let debris get in it at the pump. This is a 12 volt pump so you would need a power converter or a battery closeby. There are 120volt pumps for ponds that are made for this kind of work that might be more appropriate.

Potentially, if the voltage and amperage are correctly matched. I would suggest purchasing a wall plug w/ the correct adaptor for your unit though. I use this b/c my portable pump has a direct power cord from the unit and no adaptor.

No not really, pump needs to be approx. 4" from surface otherwise the top of the fountain head's not above the water surface! You could place on blocks or a few stacked large rock to raise it near the water surface. It would be 'just' enough to keep the water from stagnating while producing vary small fountain but little more...

It will handle up to 15 amps. If your pump pulls less than 15 amps the answer is yes. I have a 1 HP on mine and it works wonderfully.Hope this helps.Regina

I am currently on my second pump. The first one gave out after several years, and the second one has been in use less than a year. I have it plugged into a 110v standard outlet and run it 24 hours a day 7 days a week and never have any problems. I run the pump from spring to fall, and take it out of the fountain during the winter months.

Not for sure, but my pump is a 1.5 hp. You my not have enough power to operate this filter. Cannot say yes.

Yes it will start simply by plugging it into your standard AC house current. There are no batteries to charge. it is a standard ''plug in'' pump.

As long as your input into the pump is 12v DC you should be fine. That is my educated guess.

This device uses a cheap fountain type pump. I wouldn't bet that nice hardware on this cheap pump.

The power cord comes attached to the pump. If you are an electrician or know one, it would be possible. I would just plug it into a timer that is rated for all types of weather.

Yes, as long as you have it hooked up using the 240v. I run my well pump on it.
