Rio HF Water Pumps | Aquarium, Sump, Pond
| 20HF & 26HF & 32HF

Rio Pumps (by Taam of California) have been an industry standard for some time now with many innovative products.

While in our experience and testing their sister company (Via Aqua/Commodity Axis of California) has passed up the basic Rio Pumps in price, reliability & innovation (based on our experience), the newer HF line of Rio Pumps is second to no other product in terms of innovation with these patented high flow/ pressure water pumps that are designed specifically for the high flow needs of a deep aquarium sump or pond that has to lift greater distances to water features.

These Rio HF Pumps make an excellent choice for ponds, or deep fountains or sumps.
For Pond use, we suggest the use of a gravel/rock pre-filter around the inlet of this pump to remove more debris from entering the internal pump sponge pre-filter (volcanic rock or better; Matrix we provide best results). This will not only provide longer pump life, but require less pump cleanings and even result in a more clear pond!

• Vortex Rotor Blade

• High Flow Rate, especially for deep/high water features

• More Gallons flow per watt power

• Fully Submersible

• Energy efficient design

• Rare Earth Magnet

• Low heat emittance

• Titanium Shaft with Ceramic Bearing

• Multi Purpose; Ideal for high flow, high pressure Salt/Freshwater/Pond

• Heavy duty three prong grounded cord

• UL (Underwriters Labortories) Rated

• As with ANY Mag Drive submersible pump, these should NOT be used with a pond skimmer due to variable input restrictions that can damage the pump and void the warranty (only a direct drive pump should be used for such applications)

• Sponge and Valve (B) no longer supplied by Rio (Taam)
