Tsurumi’s PN Water Feature Series Designed for Varied Ponds and Settings
Tsurumi Pump’s water feature series is built with corrosion-resistant materials. The PN Series’ low amperage draw makes these pumps a cost-efficient option for continuous operation.
“Our PN Series is designed to meet the performance of varied water features and boost unit longevity,” said Ben Houk, western sales manager, portable product at Tsurumi America. “These pumps are made with corrosion-resistant, 304 stainless steel housings and durable resin molded parts to aid in longer pump life.”
A large concern for many water feature owners is the health and safety of their fish, plants and other aquatic life. According to Houk, Tsurumi has tackled this issue by using white mineral oil in the oil chambers of their pumps. This type of oil is safe for fish and plants, as it does not pollute the water and assists in the well-being of the entire ecosystem, Tsurumi said.
Tsurumi’s water feature pumps are designed with efficient electric motors with 100 percent copper windings. These pumps have a low amperage draw that makes them an excellent choice for continuous operation, specifically in applications where 24-hour flow is necessary. These measures are meant to minimize energy costs, which is crucial for pond owners who want to maintain ideal conditions for their fish and aquatic plants.
Tsurumi understands that water features come in various sizes and designs. The company’s standard water feature covers a performance range of 2,400 GPH up to 12,000 GPH.
“We have seen some of our larger pumps that peak at higher than 100,000 GPH installed in some larger water features,” Houk added.
Each pump is backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Also, Tsurumi has a team of full-time engineers available during standard business hours to answer technical questions and assist with trouble-shooting.
“It’s not uncommon for us to come across an end user who has been running one of our PN Series pumps in their pond for more than 10 years with no signs of stopping,” Houk said.
