Can the pump support ONLY a waterfall. We do not want a fountain too?

Not without modification. You can run a fountain only, or a waterfall and fountain together, but not a waterfall by itself.

My pond is 13x10' and had no waterfall. It work fine for 18 mon then clogged up and died.

A small one without a lot of gpm, yes. But you would need to figure out the waterfall attachment, you could probably purchase an off the shelf one to fit.

There is a bypass valve so yes you could easily run it straight to your waterfall. I've had this thing for a long time now and have had zero issues with it. Probably the best money I've ever spent for a filter!

It would have to be a really small waterfall as this pump doesn't move a very big volume of water. I use this pump only to clean algae from the water which it does very well. It is submerged pretty deep with the fountain head removed so it is well concealed. I have another much larger pump that I use for my waterfall. You can plumb a UV filter into your waterfall however I don't run my waterfall enough where the UV filter would be effective because I get a lot of water loss from evaporation and splashing. So, with my setup, it's nice to have the separate filter to take care of the algae that I can run as needed.

Can you put it under a waterfall/ no:) It is however ok in humidity. All of our items are UL listed. Thanks Heather, Matt P

Yes, but I recommend not turning it on all the way in case the hose comes disconnected from the fountain like mine did.

Sure. This may be obvious but you simply want to avoid sucking dirt, sand, leaves, or whatever junk may be in a creek, into the pump. If you can avoid that then it's no problem.If the creek has a strong current you may need to anchor or weight your pump.

I use it for a dissapearing waterfall that we built. It sits on top of the reservoir and serves as a platform to hold the rocks and the water to fall on top and go back into the hidden reservoir.

As two other answers stated, you only need to keep the hose attached if you want to run the waterfall, otherwise no.

Not that I know of. When I take it out during water changes I need to put it in the shade to stop the pump. I'm home all the time and don't run low on water...knock on wood. I do love it. It took a while for the birds to overcome their fear but now I see them in the bath.

I'd like just a little higher flow. It works OK, but we have a 3' waterfall and I wish it pushed a bit more water.

You could, but you might be better off with a pump that stays out of the water to be pump.... that way you don't get your feet wet. E.g a Teel pump with an "in " hose (out of the pond) and an "out" hose (onto the lawn). teelpumpcatalog.com

No, they likely couldn't access the water unless you keep it filled to the highest level at all times. The fountain dome and filter underneath blocks access to the reservoir. So it is dependant on the pump, unlike the waterfall style bowls.

It doesn't pump uphill more than a foot. As long as you are pumping straight across, it does fine. For moving water against gravity, you need a more powerful pump.

can i use this as a water fountain? i want to put water in there and have a water fountain running down.

I don't think so. It works in the opposite way, when the float rises sufficiently it turns on the power that activates the sump pump, so I think it is doing the exact opposite of what you want.

Hi Sharon,the answer is no,you have to buy pump with vertical float switch,I hope this will help you.

No not really, pump needs to be approx. 4" from surface otherwise the top of the fountain head's not above the water surface! You could place on blocks or a few stacked large rock to raise it near the water surface. It would be 'just' enough to keep the water from stagnating while producing vary small fountain but little more...

It's a fountain filter. I'm sure you could add piping to pump it but it wouldn't be a strong flow a,d might look out of place. We hs e ours in the center of the pond and it's perfr t for us.

Yes, you can make it function as a non-electronic faucet. I did that to mine because the whole system doesn't work.
