EcoPlus Eco 264 Fixed Flow Submersible/Inline Pump (290 GPH)

EcoPlus Eco 264 Fixed Flow Submersible/Inline Pump 290 GPH

Struggling with inconsistent water circulation that's impacting your system performance? The EcoPlus Eco 264 eliminates flow fluctuations with its magnetic drive technology, delivering a steady 290 gallons per hour while consuming minimal power. Built around a high-quality rare earth rotor magnet and ceramic shaft impeller, this dual-purpose pump adapts seamlessly to submersible or inline configurations across hydroponics, aquariums, and pond applications.

The Eco 264's magnetic drive system removes traditional mechanical seals, virtually eliminating wear points and dramatically extending pump lifespan. The ceramic shaft impeller stands up to both freshwater and saltwater environments without corrosion, while oil-free operation protects water quality in sensitive growing and aquatic systems. Multiple attachment fittings included with each pump provide installation flexibility for various tubing sizes and system designs.

UL listing confirms this pump meets stringent safety requirements for both indoor and outdoor installations. The included strainer and foam filter catch debris before it reaches pump internals, reducing maintenance frequency and protecting against premature failure. Whisper-quiet operation makes the Eco 264 suitable for residential environments where noise matters, and the compact footprint fits easily into crowded equipment spaces.

📄 EcoPlus Fixed Flow Submersible Pumps Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 290 GPH flow rate suitable for larger systems? +

Yes, the Eco 264's 290 GPH output handles medium to large hydroponic reservoirs, aquariums up to 100 gallons, and small pond applications effectively. For optimal circulation, aim to turn over your system volume 3-5 times per hour, which makes this pump ideal for systems around 60-100 gallons.

Can I reduce the flow rate if 290 GPH is too strong? +

The Eco 264 is a fixed flow pump, meaning it delivers a constant 290 GPH at full operation. You can reduce flow by adding a valve on the outlet side, though this is less efficient than choosing a lower-flow model. Never restrict the inlet side as this can damage the pump.

How does this pump handle nutrient solutions in hydroponics? +

The ceramic shaft impeller and magnetic drive design handle standard nutrient solutions without issue. The oil-free construction ensures no contamination of your nutrients, making it safe for organic operations. Clean the strainer and foam filter regularly when using nutrient-rich water to maintain optimal flow.

What's the maximum head height for inline installation? +

Refer to the instruction manual for specific head height ratings, as flow rate decreases with elevation. For best performance in inline applications, position the pump below the water source when possible to maintain prime and maximize flow efficiency.

How often should I perform maintenance on this pump? +

Check and clean the foam filter weekly, or more frequently in systems with heavy debris. Inspect the strainer monthly and clear any buildup. The magnetic drive design requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional pumps, but regular filter cleaning prevents performance degradation and extends pump life.

Will this pump work with a chiller or UV sterilizer? +

Yes, the Eco 264 works well with inline equipment like chillers and UV sterilizers. The included attachment fittings accommodate standard tubing sizes used with these devices. Ensure proper flow direction and don't exceed the manufacturer's recommended back pressure for connected equipment.

What makes magnetic drive better than standard pumps? +

Magnetic drive eliminates the shaft seal that commonly fails in traditional pumps, significantly reducing leak risks and maintenance needs. The rare earth magnet transfers power without physical contact, resulting in quieter operation, improved efficiency, and substantially longer service life with fewer moving parts to wear out.

Can I use this pump in a reef aquarium? +

Absolutely, the ceramic shaft impeller resists saltwater corrosion, and the oil-free design prevents contamination in sensitive reef environments. The 290 GPH flow provides adequate circulation for small to medium reef tanks. Consider using it for return pump applications or supplemental circulation depending on your coral requirements.
