Flo 79926 is an 8 W submersible fountain pump designed for low-power water circulation in small decorative installations. It runs on 230 V, 50 Hz AC and carries an IPX8 rating for continuous submersion. The unit is compact and lightweight and includes a 1.5 m power cable, a removable filter element for basic debris protection, and a set of three interchangeable nozzles to produce different water jet patterns.
Advantages
The pump provides energy-efficient continuous operation at 8 W, suitable for extended running in small fountains and water features. IPX8 protection means the pump is intended for permanent submersion, reducing risk of moisture-related failure when installed correctly. Its removable filter simplifies maintenance by allowing straightforward cleaning, and the included nozzle set enables quick visual customization of the water effect without additional parts.
Suitable for
- Small garden fountains and ornamental water features
- Indoor tabletop fountains and decorative bowls
- Small garden ponds requiring low-flow circulation
- Aquarium decor where low-power surface movement is needed
When it may not be suitable
The Flo 79926 is not intended for pumping large volumes of water or for applications that require high head (significant vertical lift) or strong pressure. It is designed for clean water use only; it should not be used for heavily contaminated, sandy, or viscous liquids. For installations that need remote switching, precise flow control, or integration with high-voltage systems beyond 230 V, a different pump model would be more appropriate.

How to use
Install the Flo 79926 fully submerged in clean water on a stable, level surface. Connect the power cable to a properly grounded 230 V, 50 Hz outlet protected by a suitable residual-current device (RCD) where required by local regulations. Choose and attach one of the supplied nozzles to achieve the desired water pattern, and ensure the removable filter is fitted to reduce ingress of debris. Periodically disconnect power before removing and cleaning the filter or nozzles. Follow the supplied instruction manual for detailed mounting orientations and recommended minimum water levels.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that 8 W and the pump's flow capacity meet your circulation or fountain height requirements.
- Ensure the installation provides continuous submersion and that the water is relatively clean to avoid clogging.
- Verify that a 230 V, 50 Hz power source and appropriate electrical protection are available at the installation site.
- Check that the 1.5 m cable length is sufficient or plan for a safe extension by a qualified electrician if needed.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, keep the pump submerged at all times, clean the removable filter on a regular schedule, and choose the nozzle that matches the desired visual effect. Avoid running the pump dry and inspect the power cable and connections periodically for wear or damage.
