Pump Performance Guide

All pumps have a GPH rating based at 0'. The higher up you're trying to pump water the less pressure you will have. Use the graph below to determine the best pond pump for your needs. Shut off height is the maximum that each pump will reach in Head Height

Here is a rough calculation of how the pumps will perform (All pump sizes and flows are approximate and in GPH, to calculate GPM divide by 60)

Use our interactive pump performance curve calculator to find the perfect Teton Mag-Drive pump for your project. By comparing Gallons Per Hour (GPH) against Total Dynamic Head (FT), you can ensure your fountain, pond, or aquarium receives the optimal flow rate for your specific height requirements.
