The Teton XPF Series pumps are high volume, direct-drive submersible pumps, constructed of heavy duty materials which makes them great for demanding applications, with a capacity to handle up to 3/4" solids and are typically used for large fountains, ponds and other applications. FEATURES: Handles up to 3/4" solids, Vortex impeller design, Direct drive, High head capacity, Thermal overload, Threaded (NPT) discharge, 2-Year Warranty Ideal Applications The XPF- Direct Drive/Vortex Pumps is designed for large ponds and water features, typically serving systems of 3,000 gallons or more. Suitable for dedicated pump vaults, large skimmer installations, and multi-feature plumbing where high flow rates are required. Key Features Explained Teton pumps use a sealed motor housing to prevent water ingress during continuous submersed operation. Verify that all cable glands and housing seals are intact during seasonal startup. UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycling can degrade rubber seals over multiple seasons. Thermal overload protection shuts the motor down before damage occurs if flow is restricted or the pump overheats. This protection circuit monitors motor temperature and automatically interrupts power before the windings sustain heat damage. Once the motor cools to a safe operating temperature, it resets and resumes normal operation. Oil-free design eliminates the risk of petroleum contamination in the pond. This specification contributes to the product's overall reliability and service life in outdoor pond environments. Verify compatibility with your existing system components before installation. Installation Tips Position the pump on a flat, stable surface inside the skimmer bay or pump vault to minimize vibration and intake restriction. Use flexible PVC or rubber couplings at the pump discharge to absorb vibration and simplify future pump removal for maintenance. Prime external pumps before first use by filling the housing and intake line with water; running a pump dry even briefly can damage shaft seals. Seasonal Usage Advice Spring: Inspect seals, O-rings, and gaskets for winter damage before restarting equipment. Replace UV lamps at the beginning of each season regardless of whether they still light up. Summer: Monitor water temperature during heat waves. Warmer water holds less oxygen and accelerates biological demand on filters. Fall: Add netting over the pond before peak leaf drop to reduce the organic load entering the skimmer and filter. Winter: In freezing climates, disconnect, drain, and store equipment indoors. Water trapped inside housings and plumbing expands when frozen and can crack components.
