The Jet Stream Rapid Water Pump 5000L/hr can replace an original pump or for your own projects. The high water volume it can move will drain a water butt very quickly, should you need to. Great for a quick turnaround on tank changes! While they are heavy duty and very reliable, the Jet Stream Rapid Water Pump is also quiet in operation. This pump is the one that comes with the Rain System (15 – 18 Pots) and the Aero System (15 – 18 Pots). With an outlet pipe size of 25mm or 38mm, you can also use the pump to set up your own custom system if you have some ideas! Alien have 25mm pipe and junction fittings to connect it, which are also on our site here.
A Jet Stream Rapid Water Pump 5000L/hr will move that volume under optimal conditions, but can pump water up to a head height of 6m. Please be aware that the higher the water needs to reach, the lower overall flow will be. Power draw is 250w and the pump comes with a 10m cable to allow it to reach and submerge to the bottom of the water tank. The maximum size particulate that can flow through the pumps workings is 5mm, which is fairly large for water borne particles, but if you suspect there may be larger bits then a filter before the pump would be a good idea.

At Canterbury Hydroponics, we have a few other pumps available for moving various volumes of water.

Larger pumps include the HX-4500 which can move up to 2000L/hr while still remaining a cost effective product. All of our pumps are on our website, here.
