Yes. A larger pump may be used with some Aquascape spitters, but the water flow must be reduced to an appropriate level.
Too much water flow can cause:
- Excessive splashing
- Water spraying outside the pond or fountain bowl
- Increased water loss
- An overly powerful water stream
What pump should I use?
For normal installations, use the Aquascape pump recommended for the specific spitter.
If a larger pump is used:
- Reduce the water flow until the desired stream is achieved.
- Make sure the water remains inside the pond, basin, or fountain bowl.
- Check the feature after several minutes for excessive splashing or water loss.
Using the recommended pump generally provides the easiest setup and appropriate water flow for the spitter.
