Frequently Asked Questions
What plumbing configuration fittings come with an AquaSurge pump?
Every AquaSurge pump features a versatile rotational ball output that lets you direct your discharge line right where you need it. They include a comprehensive variety of click-fit fittings, allowing you to quickly connect to 1", 1.25", 1.5", and 2" flexible PVC or kink-free pipes without needing to purchase external thread adapters.
What does the Low Suction Intake Attachment do?
The Aquascape Low Suction Intake Attachment (91117) is a specialized adapter that replaces the standard intake screen cage. It permits the AquaSurge pump to draw water down to a depth of only 1 to 2 inches. This makes it an invaluable accessory for draining ponds or operating shallow disappearing waterfalls and decorative basins where water depth is strictly limited.
How do I restore low pressure or clean an AquaSurge pump?
Because asynchronous pumps rely on tight clearances inside the motor block, mineral build-up, debris, or calcium scale can slow down or jam the internal rotor. If your flow output drops, you don't need to purchase a brand-new pump. We stock official Replacement AquaSurge Impeller Kits for Generation 2 models. Simply unscrew the pump cover, slide out the old assembly, and install a fresh impeller kit to completely restore factory pressure performance.
