This SunSun pump is designed for hobbyists who need to move water in shallow containers, where a standard submersible pump would not reach its intake. Its low-level design allows it to operate in very little water, and its 1500 l/h flow rate and 180 cm lift cover water circulation and elevated water feeds in aquatic and paludarium setups.
Why it matters
- Low operating depth: the pump is fully waterproof and can run submerged, but it also works when only partly submerged, with a minimum water level of 25 mm.
- Dry-run protection: a temperature sensor combined with a microprocessor cuts power when the water runs out, so the pump shuts down instead of running dry.
- Strainer and impeller: a large mesh strainer keeps bigger debris away from the impeller, and smaller particles that pass through the mesh are pumped out with the water.
- Hose compatibility: three adapters are included, fitting hoses with 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm inner diameters (12/16, 16/22 and 20/26 sizes).

What it works with
The pump suits aquarium and terrarium water features where the water level is low and a compact, fully submersible unit is needed, such as circulation or small waterfalls. Its 1500 l/h flow and 180 cm lift define the size of setup it can serve, so check that the water column and tubing diameter match your installation before purchase.

Frequently asked questions
The pump can run in water as shallow as 25 mm, so it works in partial submersion. It is also fully waterproof and can be used completely submerged.
A temperature sensor and microprocessor cut the power when the water runs out, which protects the pump from running dry. The supplier describes this as the pump switching off immediately when the temperature rises.
The pump lifts water up to 180 cm and has a flow rate of 1500 l/h. Its power consumption is 25 W.
Three adapters are included, for 12/16 mm, 16/22 mm and 20/26 mm hoses, or for any hose with an inner diameter of 12 mm, 16 mm or 20 mm. Which one you need depends on the inner diameter of your hose.
The supplier states that the pump can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without affecting its lifespan. It has a large filter sieve that stops bigger debris from reaching the impeller, while smaller dirt passes through the pump.
