Danner® The Fountain Pump™ Statuary Pump with Barb Fittings - 400 GPH

Magnetic-Drive Flow Control for Fountains, Statuary & Small Water Features, 400 GPH, 8.5ft Head

The Danner® Fountain Pump™ is rated 400 GPH with a 8.5ft maximum head. This magnetic-drive design is built for fountains, statuary, and small decorative water features rather than large ponds, delivering steady, quiet flow without overpowering a basin.

Vertical flow control widens the adjustable output range beyond a simple on/off valve. The pump works submersible or inline, depending on how your fountain or statuary piping is set up. Included 1/2in, 5/8in, and 3/4in tubing adaptors add further connection flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does vertical flow control work?

Vertical flow control is an adjustable mechanism that widens the range over which output can be regulated, giving finer control than a simple on/off valve. It lets you dial in a specific fountain height or flow sound rather than running at full output only.

Does this pump include tubing adapters?

Yes — this model includes 1/2in, 5/8in, and 3/4in tubing adaptors, letting you match tubing size to your fountain or statuary setup. Adapter selection is one of the differences between the smaller and larger pumps in this series.

Can this pump run inline, out of the water?

Yes — pumps rated 290 GPH and above in this series support both submersible and inline installation. Choose submersible for a basin drop-in setup, or inline if you are routing water through external plumbing to a fountainhead.

Is the power cord grounded?

Yes — this pump includes a grounded power cord for safe operation near water. Always plug into a GFCI-protected outlet when running any pump near a water feature.
