Compact design makes the TH400 ideal for skimmer installations. Why Choose the EasyPro TH400 Waterfall Pump? Direct-drive 1/2 HP motor: Delivers reliable 5,100 GPH at open flow — enough to power medium and large waterfalls, long streams, and high-volume pondless systems without straining the motor in 24/7 continuous operation. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel motor housing: The motor is enclosed in a stainless steel housing specifically designed for continuous submersion, resisting the corrosion that destroys standard cast iron or aluminum pump housings over time. Abrasion-resistant fiber-reinforced plastic casing: The outer pump casing is built from fiber-reinforced plastic, providing impact and abrasion resistance that extends pump life even in skimmer environments where debris and grit contact the exterior. Vortex impeller design prevents clogging: The impeller geometry creates a whirlpool effect that moves debris through the pump rather than jamming it, dramatically reducing the maintenance stops caused by impeller clogs common with flat-impeller pumps. Built-in overload and overheat protection: If the pump becomes clogged or overheated during continuous operation, the built-in protection circuit shuts the motor off before it burns out — then automatically resets once the condition clears. 410 stainless steel shaft and PPO glass-fiber impeller: The pump shaft is precision 410 stainless steel and the impeller is Poly(p-phenylene oxide) reinforced with 20% glass fiber — materials chosen for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in continuous wet use. Oil-free design — fish and plant safe: Double silicon carbide mechanical seals keep the motor completely oil-free, eliminating any risk of oil contamination in your pond or water feature. Compact footprint ideal for skimmers: At 10” diameter × 17.5” tall, the TH400 is sized to fit inside most standard pond skimmer pump vaults. Verify your skimmer’s internal depth exceeds 17.5” for full submersion.

The TH400 delivers a maximum of 5,100 GPH at open flow (0 ft head) and has a maximum head height of 32 feet. At typical waterfall operating heights: 5 ft head: 4,440 GPH 10 ft head: 3,780 GPH 15 ft head: 3,420 GPH 20 ft head: 2,880 GPH For sizing guidance, measure your waterfall’s vertical height from the water surface to the top of the falls, then add 1 ft of head for every 10 ft of horizontal pipe run to account for friction loss. Call (765) 508-4352 for personalized pump sizing help. Why is the TH400’s vortex impeller design better for waterfall and skimmer use? The TH400 uses a vortex impeller that creates a whirlpool effect inside the pump chamber. Instead of forcing debris directly through the impeller blades (as flat-impeller pumps do), the vortex pulls water and small solids through with minimal contact with the impeller itself. This means organic debris, small leaves, and fine particles that make it past the intake screen are less likely to jam the impeller. For skimmer installations, this is especially valuable: the skimmer net and brush panel catch large debris, but fine organic material can still reach the pump. The vortex design handles this without requiring pump disassembly to clear clogs. The TH400 also features built-in overload and overheat protection — if a clog does occur, the motor shuts off automatically to prevent burnout, then resets once the obstruction clears. How much power does the TH400 use in 24/7 continuous operation? The TH400 operates at approximately 400 watts at its rated operating point on 115V, with an amp draw range of 3.7–6.0 amps depending on head pressure (lower head = higher flow = higher amp draw; higher head = reduced flow = lower amp draw). At 400W continuous, annual operating cost at $0.12/kWh is approximately $420/year for 24/7 operation. Running the pump only during daytime hours (12 hrs/day) reduces this to approximately $210/year. The stainless steel motor housing is air-filled for maximum heat dissipation, allowing the motor to run cool continuously even during the hottest summer months. The built-in thermal protection provides an additional safety layer if the pump does begin to overheat. Is the EasyPro TH400 safe for koi and goldfish ponds? Yes. The TH400 is completely fish-safe. It uses an oil-free design with double silicon carbide mechanical seals that prevent any oil or lubricant from entering the water. Unlike older motor designs that used oil-filled housings, the TH400’s dry-motor design eliminates any risk of oil contamination that could harm koi, goldfish, or aquatic plants. Note: The TH400 is not approved for salt water applications. Salt water accelerates corrosion of metal components, including the stainless steel housing, and can void the warranty. What size plumbing and fittings do I need for the TH400? The TH400 features a 2” FPT (female threaded port) vertical discharge outlet. You will need: 2” male threaded PVC fitting to connect at the pump outlet 2” flexible PVC pipe (or rigid 2” PVC) for the supply run — using 2” or larger minimizes friction loss and maximizes delivered flow 2” check valve (strongly recommended) to prevent backflow and air-lock when the pump stops Do not reduce to 1.5” pipe — undersizing the pipe increases friction loss significantly at 5,100 GPH flow rates, reducing delivered flow and increasing pump load. What cord length options are available for the TH400? The TH400 is available in three cord lengths — same pump, different cord: TH400 — 20 ft cord (this listing) TH400-50 — 50 ft cord TH400-100 — 100 ft cord Choose based on the distance from your pond or skimmer to the nearest GFCI-protected outdoor outlet. Never use an extension cord with a submersible pump — the cord variants exist specifically to eliminate this need. Call (765) 508-4352 to order the 50 ft or 100 ft variant. How do I winterize my EasyPro TH400 waterfall pump? For climates where water features freeze: Remove the pump before ice formation — ice can crack the casing and damage seals Rinse thoroughly and dry the exterior Store indoors in a frost-free location Important: Place the pump in a bucket with approximately 8 inches of water during storage. The double silicon carbide mechanical seals can dry out and crack if stored completely dry — dried seals are the leading cause of premature pump failure after winter storage For year-round climates where the feature runs continuously, no seasonal maintenance is required beyond periodic intake screen cleaning.
