It has an intake strainer at the bottom where water is drawn in through the screen and then a semi-open impeller through which the water is forced by spinning to create centrifugal force. It comes out at the 2-inch discharge port at rated flow rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spring-loaded mechanical seal, an API-regulated component, keeps the electric motor isolated from water. An overload protection circuit is used to monitor the temperature of the motor as well as the current draw. The power will be automatically cut if there is an overcurrent before any damage can be caused. Such a closed-loop protection system is what has given WellSpring pumps their reputation for longevity in continuous-duty applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18-foot (or 20-foot on some models) waterproof cord meets most installations to a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet without needing an extension cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"PerformancePro Wellspring Submersible Pond Pumps\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/6005\/9734\/files\/Complete-WellSpring-Manual-2016.pdf?v=1742413675\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/6005\/9734\/files\/madeinusa_480x480.png?v=1613290082\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PerformancePro","offers":[{"title":"PerformancePro Wellspring 1\/4 HP","offer_id":33514621730902,"sku":"WS1\/4-33","price":530.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PerformancePro Wellspring 1\/3 HP","offer_id":33514621763670,"sku":"WS1\/3-44","price":618.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PerformancePro Wellspring 1\/2 HP","offer_id":33514621796438,"sku":"WS1\/2-58","price":731.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PerformancePro Wellspring 1 HP","offer_id":33514621829206,"sku":"WS1-66","price":852.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Float Switch (Can't be ordered as a stand alone item)","offer_id":33522188353622,"sku":"FS-22","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/6005\/9734\/products\/wellspring-pump.jpg?v=1613550892","url":"https:\/\/pugetsoundponds.com\/products\/performancepro-wellspring-pump","provider":"Puget Sound Ponds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
