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. http://www.mdminc.com/Cimarron.htm |

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. |

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. John |

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.
