6. Setup and Installation

The FREESEA Pond Pump is an amphibious pump, suitable for both underwater and land-based (inline) applications.

6.1 Choosing a Nozzle

Select one of the three provided nozzles (0.74 in., 1 in., or 1.25 in.) based on your desired water flow effect and tubing size. Screw the chosen nozzle securely onto the pump's water outlet.

6.2 Submersible Installation

  1. Attach the 15 ft water tube to the selected nozzle on the pump's outlet.
  2. Place the pump at the desired location within your pond, aquarium, or water garden. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water. The silicone suction cups on the base can help secure it to a smooth surface.
  3. Route the power cord and controller cable safely out of the water and connect to the power adapter.

6.3 Land-Based (Inline) Installation

  1. Connect one tube to the pump's inlet (where the mesh cover is) and another tube to the pump's outlet (with the chosen nozzle).
  2. Position the pump on a stable, dry surface near your water feature. Ensure the pump is below the water level of the source to allow for gravity-fed intake.
  3. Route the power cord and controller cable and connect to the power adapter.
