Hydroponic Pumps

Hydroponic gardens have become more and more popular as a healthy alternative to store-bought produce. However, many people wonder: what pump is equipped for hydroponics? Will my hydroponic pump last? One of our popular pumps that could be used in hydroponics is the B3 Circulating Pump. This is a submersible pump.

This pump is:

  • Submersible
  • Food Grade
  • Can run directly from PV/ Solar Panels
Why is the B3 Circulating Pump well-equipped for a hydroponic garden?

First of all, this pump is submersible, meaning you can put it under water and leave it there to do its work. In addition, the pump’s design is quiet, compact and lightweight. This can be an important consideration in choosing a hydroponic pump as it will be running often. Yet, even though the pump only weighs less than half a pound, its powerful brushless motor can handle a heavy-duty work load. For example, it is ideally suited to do the job of circulating water for a vertical hydroponic garden.

How long will this pump last me?

The magnetically-driven rotor/impeller spins on a single ceramic bearing, thus extending the life of this pump beyond existing standards.  The highly efficient ECM brushless DC motor can sustain a continuous 24-hour workload with a life expectancy of well over 20,000 hours. How great is that?
