How much water and lift can this pump deliver?

The PEG4700 moves up to 4,700 gallons per hour at low head and produces a maximum lift of 18.5 feet, giving strong circulation and good headroom for medium-sized features. It runs on 216 watts, keeping energy use moderate for continuous operation.

• Maximum flow: 4,700 GPH
• Maximum lift/head: 18.5 feet
• Power consumption: 216 watts
• Quiet operation: approximately 30–40 dB

Will it handle debris and stay clog-free?

Yes — the Vortex impeller design helps the pump tolerate solids and resist jamming compared with traditional impellers. A supplied mesh bag and a snap-off filter cage keep large material out of the intake while making cleanup easy when it’s time to service the unit.

• Included mesh debris bag blocks larger particles
• Snap-off filter cage detaches quickly for cleaning
• Vortex impeller handles suspended solids more effectively
• Filters particles down to about 0.16 inches in size

How flexible is the installation and hose setup?

The pump can be used submerged or run externally and accepts vertical or horizontal placement to suit confined spaces and different plumbing orientations. It ships with a 20-foot power cord, a five-position nozzle and an adapter for larger hoses so you can match common tubing sizes and spray configurations.

• Operates submersed or dry-mounted (in/out of water)
• Vertical or horizontal placement supported
• Adapter fits 1.5" to 2" diameter hoses and includes 5-position nozzle
• 20 ft cord for flexible siting around ponds and basins
