SP-Series sump pumps are return pumps for sump-equipped marine and freshwater systems, and can be plumbed either internally (sitting in the sump) or externally. They suit a larger reef or a heavily stocked display where a hang-on or in-tank pump will not move enough water. Be realistic about the numbers though: the quoted flow is the pump's maximum, and every metre you lift the water and every elbow you plumb in takes a slice off it, so size up rather than down.
Both sizes take the same family of service parts, including the Fluval SEA Sump Pump Impeller Assembly, so a worn rotor does not mean a new pump.
Features
- Smart Pump technology — Directional start-up control and RPM monitoring, with a safety shut-off if the pump runs dry or jams.
- Alumina ceramic shaft and bearing — High-quality ceramic components resist the calcium build-up that kills pumps in saltwater.
- Internal or external — Plumb the pump inside the sump or dry outside it, whichever suits your cabinet layout.
- Barbed fittings included — Compatible with North American and European fittings.
- Fresh or salt — Rated for both freshwater and marine systems.
