Neptune PMUP v2 Practical Multi-Purpose Utility Pump

Neptune PMUP v2 Practical Multi-Purpose Utility Pump

The Neptune PMUP v2 Practical Multi-Purpose Utility Pump is a compact utility pump for aquarium tasks such as auto top-off and feeding bio-pellet, carbon and GFO reactors. It suits reefkeepers and freshwater aquarists who want a low-power pump that can lift water up to 14 ft (4.3 m) vertically.

Key Benefits

• Pumps water up to 14 ft (4.3 m) vertically, so an RO water store can sit on a floor below the tank, such as in a basement or downstairs utility room, and still be pumped up to the aquarium.
• Vertical design with a bottom intake and top output, so you can simply drop it into a jug or other RO water container.
• Draws less than 20 W, which makes it an efficient way to run reactors and adds very little heat to your aquarium.
• Removable screen keeps foreign objects out and makes the pump easy to clean and maintain.
• Shuts off automatically when it detects it is running dry.
• Over-temperature protection, a valuable upgrade over the previous version.
• Smooth 3/8" (9.5 mm) output connects to silicone tubing or standard push-fit connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PMUP v2 come with a power supply?
No. The pump is supplied on its own and needs an Apex controller with a 1Link module or EnergyBar832 that has an available DC24V Accessory Port. A version with a power supply is available for those without an Apex.

How high can it pump water?
Max head is 14 ft (4.3 m), so it can lift water to the tank from a floor below.

Can I use it in both saltwater and freshwater systems?
Yes. It is suited to salt or freshwater auto top-off, and it can also run reactors.

What happens if the water container runs empty?
The pump detects when it is running dry and shuts off automatically. It also has over-temperature protection.

How much power does it use?
It is rated at 17 W, under 20 W, so it adds very little heat to your aquarium.

What tubing does it connect to?
The smooth 3/8" (9.5 mm) output fits silicone tubing or standard push-fit connectors.
