AquaVita 159 Submersible Water Pump - 159 GPH - 5 W - 2.9 ft Max Height - 1/2-in Outlet

Quiet, Low-Power Water Circulation - 159 GPH

Reservoirs and small hydroponic systems need steady water movement, but a pump that slides around or clogs on debris interrupts it. The AquaVita 159 is a submersible pump with attached suction cup feet that hold it in place and a pre-installed removable foam filter that shields the impeller from stray particles. It draws only 5 W.

This compact unit suits hobbyists, small indoor setups, and trial systems that need modest flow and lift. It lifts water up to 2.9 ft, so it fits shorter runs rather than tall or large-scale installations, where a higher-capacity pump is the better choice.

Key Features & Benefits

• 159 GPH flow rate — moves enough water to circulate small reservoirs and feed compact systems.
• 5 W power draw — keeps running energy use low for continuous operation.
• Suction cup feet — hold the pump in place so it does not slide or shift.
• Removable foam filter — blocks particles from the impeller and comes out for cleaning.
• Oil-free magnetic rotor with ceramic shaft — avoids oil in the water and supports durable operation.

Who Should Use AquaVita 159 Submersible Water Pump

Home gardeners and growers running small hydroponic systems, reservoir circulation, or other low-volume water features will find this pump a practical fit. It is not intended for high-lift or high-volume jobs.
