Thread: Quiet submersible pump

One thing to be aware of is the effect the hose diameter has on flow rate. I'm using a 240V submersible pond pump and found that increasing the internal hose diameter from about 5mm to 8mm doubled the flow. Short narrow sections for connections to the spindle have little effect but over a 4-5m return trip it is significant.
An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an engineer says you're using the wrong sized glass.
