The Pro Series pumps are rated for continuous duty and may be used in applications requiring continuous pumping including fountains, ponds, etc. For use in any continuous duty application the pump should be plugged directly into the wall outlet without the use of the controller. The outlet must be a single phase properly grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V, 60HZ (preferably with ground fault
circuit interrupt). For continuous duty operation, the pump must be submerged at least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at all times.
Other pumps that you could consider for this application would be the BASEMENT WATCHDOG and STORMPRO pumps.
