Active Aqua Utility Submersible Pump, 2642 GPH / 10,000 LPH

Maximum-Capacity Transfer for Demanding Setups

Some jobs are simply bigger than a standard reservoir pump can handle, and moving large volumes of water or nutrient solution quickly and reliably calls for a different class of pump entirely. The Active Aqua Utility Submersible Pump moves 2,642 GPH (10,000 LPH) through a vortex impeller built to keep running even when the water carries solids and sediment up to 6mm.

Its dual-use design lets you run it fully submerged or inline above the waterline, while ceramic bearings, a sealed motor, and thermal overload protection keep it working through continuous, heavy-duty use.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2,642 GPH transfer capacity — moves large volumes of water or nutrient solution quickly across hydroponic, aquarium, pond, and fountain applications.
• Vortex impeller rated for solids up to 6mm — keeps running in water carrying sediment and debris instead of clogging or stalling like finer-clearance pumps.
• Submersible or inline operation — runs fully submerged or mounted inline above the waterline, depending on the setup.
• Ceramic bearings and sealed motor — support continuous heavy-duty operation.
• Thermal overload protection — shuts the pump down before heat buildup causes damage.

Who Should Use This Utility Pump

Growers and facility operators moving large volumes of water or nutrient solution — bulk reservoir transfer, drainage, or high-flow recirculation — beyond what a standard reservoir pump can handle are the fit for this utility pump.

About Active Aqua

Active Aqua's high-flow utility pump line, distributed through Hydrofarm, sits alongside the brand's smaller reservoir-sized submersible pumps for growers who need more throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much water does this pump move?

It moves 2,642 GPH (10,000 LPH). That's well above the output of Active Aqua's standard reservoir-sized submersible pumps, which top out in the 800-1,100 GPH range.

Can it handle water with sediment or debris?

Yes, its vortex impeller is rated for solids up to 6mm, so it keeps running in water carrying sediment and debris that would clog or stall a finer-clearance pump. That makes it suited to drainage and bulk-transfer jobs where clean water isn't guaranteed.

Can I run it submerged and inline?

Yes, it's built for dual-use operation — fully submerged or mounted inline above the waterline. Choose whichever setup fits your plumbing layout.

How does it handle continuous heavy use?

Ceramic bearings, a sealed motor, and thermal overload protection are built in to support continuous, heavy-duty operation. The thermal overload protection specifically shuts the pump down before heat buildup causes damage.

What applications is this pump suited for?

It's built for hydroponic, aquarium, pond, and fountain applications where large volumes of water or nutrient solution need to move quickly and reliably. It's a step up from a standard reservoir pump for growers or facilities with higher-volume transfer needs.
