Detachable & Cleanable
The feature of being “detachable and cleanable” refers to the ability of a product, in this case, the VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump, to be taken apart and cleaned easily. This can be a very important feature for a pump that is used in a hydroponic or aquaponic system, as it can help to prolong the life of the pump and keep it running efficiently.
When a pump is not detachable and cleanable, it can become clogged with debris or other materials over time, which can reduce its performance and ultimately lead to failure. By being able to take the pump apart and clean it thoroughly, you can remove these materials and keep the pump running smoothly. This can also help to prevent costly repairs or replacements down the line.
Additionally, detachable and cleanable pumps also allow you to access the inner parts, check for any signs of wear and tear or issues, and to fix them before they cause problems. This can be critical in maintaining the longevity of the pump and can help to ensure that your hydroponic or aquaponic system is running smoothly for as long as possible. It’s worth mentioning that not all the submersible pumps can be disassembled and cleaned easily, so it’s important to check the product’s manual or the product’s details if it has this feature.
Optional Outlet Positions
An optional outlet position is a feature that allows you to adjust the direction or position of the water output from the pump. This can be a very useful feature for a submersible pump that is used in a hydroponic or aquaponic system, as it allows you to customize the flow of water to suit the specific needs of your plants or fish.
For example, having the option to adjust the outlet position allows you to direct the water flow to specific areas in your system, such as to the roots of plants in a hydroponic setup, or to different sections of an aquarium. This can help to ensure that all parts of your system are receiving an adequate supply of water and nutrients, which can improve the growth and overall health of the plants and fish.
Having optional outlet positions also means that the pump can be used in a variety of settings, including but not limited to vertical or horizontal orientation, allowing for more flexibility in pump placement and giving you more control over water flow. It’s worth noting that not all submersible pumps have this feature, so if you’re looking for a pump with optional outlet positions, you should look for one specifically advertised as having this feature, or check the product manual to see if it’s included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the location of the inlet? How much water will be left after using it as a small sump pump?
The inlet is located in the center of the pump, in the front. So, whether you stand it up like in the picture or lay it down on its side, you’ll have at least 1″ to 2″ of water remaining.
Is this pump powerful enough to lift water 5 feet from a sump into the main saltwater tank?
Yes, I’ve used it to drain, fill, and drain both my fresh and salt tanks from the floor up to about 6ft for water changes. It is a very powerful and fast pump, causing much water oops when draining. After cleaning off saltwater with ro water and leaving it outside to dry, someone stole it and the housing, necessitating the purchase of a new one.
Is there a remote control for this pump?
No, it doesn’t; I’m using it to water my greenhouse plants. I bought a remote button power plug, plugged in my pump, and used the remote to start and stop the pump.
Can this be used to drain a hot tub using a garden hose?
It is certainly powerful enough for that, but the maximum operating temperature is 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit), which may be an issue for you. It also has three different outlet adapters, but they’re all barbed, so you’d need to buy an adapter to connect it directly to a garden hose with standard fittings.
Could I use it to create a small recirculating fountain in a pond?
Yes, you can, and the flow is adjustable. You just need to figure out how to attach the hose to the pond’s side. To keep the pump from becoming clogged, get a filter bag and place it inside.
Can I use this to boost the flow rate of a bottom-loading water dispenser?
Yes, disassemble it first and then run hot water over the parts to remove the light oil used to make it. Then dry with a paper towel.
Can this pump be used for a smaller above-ground pool?
If you wanted to drain the pool, this would be a quick and easy method. If you have a good water source, it’s powerful enough to fill it. It can be used to transport water from one location to another.
Is there / is it required to have oil or lubricant? Would keg lube be effective?
It only needs water to run, and its brushless motor is cooled by water. I don’t recommend oiling or attempting to lubricate it. It’s a great submersible pump, and mine is running a fountain, moving a lot of water at 800 gph.
Will this pump survive being submerged in a frozen pond?
There is no pump that can survive being frozen in a pond! It is a pump, and if you freeze it, it will no longer be able to pump water, which will kill it. If you meant can it survive if it is turned off, I would still say no.
Is this pump submersible?
Yes, this pump is submersible. It can be used in a sump or water reservoir, or even in the tank itself.
How long is the cord?
The cord is 6 feet long.
What is the flow rate of this pump?
The flow rate is 800 gallons per hour.
Is this a variable-speed pump?
Yes, this pump has an adjustable flow rate with a built-in valve.
