ReeFlo Commercial Duty Pumps
ReeFlo Commercial Duty Pumps
ReeFlo was created to focus directly on the needs of the growing consumer aquarium market. Using the most reliable and efficient commercial duty pumps, ReeFlo began engineering several different models to fit the various needs of the modern aquarist. With a whole new branding strategy and consumer focus, ReeFlo quickly became a favorite for hobbyists and professional aquarists.
ReeFlo pumps are all commercial duty units, using a combination of Baldor and A.O. Smith Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motors. This ensures the motors run cool and energy efficient. In addition they are remarkably quiet and robust.
All ReeFlo pumps are made in the USA and manufactured out of the ReeFlo factories in Colorado Springs. They have excellent customer service and will quickly replace any pump that encounters a problem covered by their 3 year warranty.
The ReeFlo pumps are divided into four main sections:
Flow Biased (Low Speed)
Perfect for 50-500 gallon closed loop systems where low Watt draw (as low as 90 watts), quiet operation and low heat transfer is important.

- Snapper: 2500 gph max, 11'max head, 98 Watts avg. (A.O. Smith)
- Dart: 3600 gph, 12', 135 W (A.O. Smith)
- Barracuda: 4300 gph, 20', 225 W (Baldor)
- Hammerhead: 5800 gph, 23', 335 W (Baldor)
Pressure Biased (Low Speed)
Made for applications when narrow lines and long runs require a higher pressure (18' to 30') and a relatively low flow. These pumps are made with Baldor motor featuring a low Watt draw (180-300W), low heat transfer & quiet performance.

- Tarpon: 1440 gph max, 23' max head, 175 Watts Avg.
- Wahoo: 1550 gph, 32', 265 W
- Marlin: 2050 gph, 37', 310 W
Both Flow and Pressure Biased (High Speed)
Ideal when high flow & pressure is required. This pump is great for long distance runs requiring high flow (5000-11000 GPH) and high pressure (up to 84'), running multiple tanks and/or multiple features. These pumps run on Premium Efficient Baldor motors.

- Manta Ray: 5200 gph max, 55' max head, 3.4 Amps average @ 230V
- Tiger Shark: 5200 gph, 84', 4.6A
Power (PWR) Series:
Made with Industrial Grade motors these pumps are ideal for very large aquariums, fish stores, and wholesale facilities.

- 7400: 8500 gph max, 55' max head, 5.2 Amps average @ 230 Volt
- 8400: 9200 gph, 69', 6.4 A
- 9000: 11000 gph, 72', 9.1 A
Tips for plumbing pumps:
- Plumbing diameter and head loss can significantly impact pump performance. It is always best to invest in large diameter tubing to get as much as possible out of your pump.
- Two pumps run in parallel (running side by side on a manifold) approximately double their flow rate and keep same head, whereas two pumps run in series (in line with each other) double head but keep the same flow. This also applies to when more than two pumps are configured in series or parallel.
