Beckett FR500 500 GPH Submersible Pond Pump | 38.4W, Energy Efficient

Efficient pond circulation for small to medium water gardens

The Beckett FR500 is a compact submersible pump designed for hobbyists and seasoned water gardeners. With a modest 38.4-watt draw, it quietly moves water, helping to circulate your pond without a high energy bill. Its 500 GPH performance at low head makes it suitable for entry-level setups or mid-sized water features.

In practice, you’ll see more consistent water movement around the pond, improved surface flow, and better distribution of heat, oxygen, and nutrients as the pump keeps water circulating. The FR500 is well suited for ponds up to 1000 gallons, with a maximum lift of 6 feet and a practical flow at 1 ft of head of about 500 GPH.
