Review: A well long-time operating pump! - I bought this pump in May, 2016. It has worked steadily every spring - fall season since. I have it hooked up to a 30 inch tall "vase" where it pumps the water from the tub below up through the top of the vase. If the water flow slows down because of a blockage, I just unplug it long enough for the water to backwash through the pump and then I plug it in again. Sometimes, depending on how stubborn the build up is, I have to unplug it a second time. That usually allows it to start and work really well again. I do take it apart and clean it out each spring before running it. I highly recommend this energizer bunny of a pump. Review: Works great here as well - I got this product last year (2015) and another one this Feb (2016). Both were the 396GPH models. The first one was purchased in 2015 for use in a large 500 gallon pond for aeration and a little bit for aesthetics but mostly to keep the water clean and free of bugs. We run it about 4 hours every evening from 5-9pm and sometimes a lot longer in the weekends. The second one runs a small nft system running water through 1/2" sprinkler hose with branch 1/4 inch drip irrigation lines. Works great here as well, this unit runs 30 min every hour and has held up well so far. Both units came with three-.75" Barbed x .75" Threaded two-.5" Barbed x .75" Threaded Nozzle x .75" Threaded Pre-wired 69 inch 120v power cord Unit contains a removable reusable and cleanable filter. Pros Very quiet, so quiet in fact that you may not even hear it running even close by. Very efficient, I checked with my kill-a-watt meter and it says it uses only 13 watts or so most of the time it is running. Pump can lift almost 6 ft (linear) with a 1/2" tube without any kinks or bends. The unit works best when it lifts no more than 5 feet from the bottom of the pump Very tolerant pump, I even ran it off a 30 watt solar panel with a small 100 watt inverter. No problems here either. Cons Water volume goes down almost exponentially with height Not the cheapest pump Outdoor usage where pump sees constant sunlight can make the shell somewhat brittle ## Features - 396 Gallons per hour; 36 watt motor - Included fittings: three-0.75β€œ Barbed x 0.75β€œ Threaded, two-0.5β€œ Barbed x 0.75β€œ Threaded and Nozzle x 0.75β€œ Threaded - Suitable for installation on dry land for in-line use or submerse into the water - Pre-wired 69 inch 120v power cord - Suitable for use in hydroponic systems, ponds,fresh and saltwater aquariums, fountains and filter systems ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0018X2XT4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #87,581 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #350 in Water Garden & Pond Pumps #1,297 in Greenhouses & Plant Germination Equipment | | Brand | EcoPlus | | Brand Name | EcoPlus | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,218 Reviews | | Flow Rate | 396 gpm | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00870883005337 | | Horsepower | 0.05 hp | | Included Components | Pump with filter & 6 fittings | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.4"L x 3.1"W x 4.5"H | | Item Type Name | For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hawthorne Hydroponics, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | HGC728310 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturer's 1 year warranty | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Maximum Lifting Height | 6.5 feet | | Model Number | HGC728310 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 6.4"L x 3.1"W x 4.5"H | | Product Style | Fixed Flow | | Specific Uses For Product | Hydroponic systems, Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains, Filter systems | | Style | Fixed Flow | | UPC | 870883005337 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EcoPlus - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 1.6 ounces - **Material:** Ceramic - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 396 gpm - **Maximum Lifting Height:** 6.5 feet - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 6.4"L x 3.1"W x 4.5"H - **Style:** Fixed Flow - **Voltage:** 120 volts ## Images ![EcoPlus Eco 396 Water Pump Fixed Flow Submersible Or Inline For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed, 396 GPH, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IPizZKMgL.jpg) ![EcoPlus Eco 396 Water Pump Fixed Flow Submersible Or Inline For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed, 396 GPH, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oFBUwIG7L.jpg) ![EcoPlus Eco 396 Water Pump Fixed Flow Submersible Or Inline For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed, 396 GPH, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61p0VZ7yZbL.jpg) ![EcoPlus Eco 396 Water Pump Fixed Flow Submersible Or Inline For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed, 396 GPH, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m6ymlYYAL.jpg) ![EcoPlus Eco 396 Water Pump Fixed Flow Submersible Or Inline For Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains & Hydroponics - UL Listed, 396 GPH, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SDSwJcXLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what size hose fits on the nozzle?** A: It takes the 3/8" readily, but has adaptors for all other common hose sizes with it. I added a little tape to make sure of no air leaks. This is a wonderful pump. You won't regret buying it. It has a lot of power! **Q: none of these connectors allow to connect to a garden hose???** A: Mine (1083GPH) came with a 3/4th inch adapter that you can attach a hose to if you cut one of the ends off an old hose. I attached an old garden hose to mine. I just put the end of the hose in near boiling water and it fit right on the 3/4th inch adapter. **Q: Does this pump vibrate loudly to you? I recently purchased one but I'm unsure if it's supposed to be this loud or if I got a bad stock** A: YES. i had three. all loud. could hear pond unit from 10ft outside. Put one on floor of another tank and could hear it in next room through 8" foam SIPs panels. . Had a several yr old eco264 that was almost silent, SOMETHING CHANGED. their 396gph unit is quieter to me. 2x 264s in a plastic tank make as much noise as a small dehumidifier. fwiw eco reef chillers used to be good till "made in china". Now look on here at revies. Lots of problems. Im replacing my Ecoplus units with actual MAG DRIVE pumps. **Q: how high can i pump 12 feet is what i need** A: I am trying pump 4.5' up. I am able to get the flow up to about 4' with very little water flow. This model will certainly not pump 12 feet. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well long-time operating pump! *by M***R on July 28, 2025* I bought this pump in May, 2016.
