Is anyone aware of an energy efficient submersible pump.
 

I have a sequence 750 that pumps about 2300 gph at 8 foot of head and draws
1.5 amps. I am also looking at this Cimarron. I would like to find a low
head submersible pump to put in the center of the pond to help keep the
bottom circulating.Any ideas most of the submersible I find are not very
efficient.

I have the Cimmaron and I like it, but it's my first external pump so I
don't have anything to reference it to.

For submersibles, Laguna is the most efficient I've found. I have a Laguna
5000 - 1640 GPH for 85 watts - hooked up with a vortex to aerate and
circulate my 4000 gal pond. Keeps things moving pretty well.

That should read venturi, not vortex. I'll be getting some coffee now...

Save me some, I need it this morning!

What is your definition of efficiency? Mine is work out vs energy in.
Your pump is consuming approximately 1/6 hp to raise 2300 gallons 8
feet every hour. 2300 gallons of water weighs approximately 9 tons
and your 1/6 hp pump is raising that 8 feet. Sounds pretty efficient
to me.

I agree it is efficient. I want to find a submersible pump just as efficient
to drive a fountain feature. It will pull water from the bottom through a 5
gallon bucket to drive my turtle fountain. It is a sprinkler for the yard
that I modified for the pond.
