Fluval Sea SP6 Aquarium Sump Pump

The Fluval Sea SP6 Aquarium Sump Pump is a powerful pump for larger aquarium systems, delivering strong flow and head height. It can be plumbed inside the sump or externally, and works in both freshwater and saltwater set-ups. Smart-Pump technology digitally controls the direction of start-up, monitors motor speed and switches the pump off if it overheats. The impeller shaft and bearing are made of alumina ceramic to resist calcium build-up, which cuts down on maintenance and extends pump life. It runs quietly and efficiently, and stays cool so it adds little heat to the water.

Planning the installation

At 12,300 L/h and 100 W, the SP6 is a high-output pump suited to large sump systems used as a return or closed-loop pump. Actual flow will be lower than the rated figure once head height and pipe bends are added, so allow for this when sizing. It can sit inside the sump or be plumbed externally, and the barbed fittings in the box suit both North American and European pipework. Measure your sump or cabinet against the 22.8 x 19 x 11.4 cm body first.

Good to know

Clean the intake and impeller housing at regular intervals so debris and deposits do not restrict the flow.
