Ratings range from 1100 L\/H at 1.4 m up to 9500 L\/H at 6.2 m. A pump at its maximum height produces zero flow, so it is best to go a size stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy won't my pump deliver its full flow rate at the top of my waterfall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rated flow and the maximum head height are not achieved together. Flow falls as the lift height increases and reaches zero at the maximum head height. Thicker pipe also demands more pump power to achieve good lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a Pondmaster MKII in a marine aquarium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The MKII range is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as ponds and fountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work in a hydroponic or garden irrigation setup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Hydroponic systems and irrigation systems are both listed applications. Match the model's flow and head height to your system, and allow for the size of your piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fountain displays can I create with the kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit gives you three head sets to choose from: a Mushroom Head for a smooth dome of water, plus single and double Tier Fountain Heads for layered spray patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cable long enough for a typical garden pond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach pump has a 10 m (32.8 ft) cable.
