2 HP Brass Fountain Pump
The Dayton 5RGV7 is a 2 horsepower submersible fountain pump built with a brass housing for corrosion resistance. It operates on 230 V AC single-phase power and draws 11 amps during normal running. A 12-foot power cord provides flexible placement in ponds or water features. The 1-1/4 inch NPT discharge suits standard plumbing connections.
Thermals and Power Draw
The motor is water-cooled by the surrounding fluid, so no external fan or radiator is required. Power consumption remains steady at 11 amps on the 230 V supply across the published head range. Noise is limited to the sound of moving water because the unit runs fully submerged. No thermal protection ratings or duty-cycle limits are disclosed in the data.
Maximum 68 Feet of Head
The pump delivers a shut-off head of 68 feet, which determines whether it can lift water to the desired feature height. Flow falls from 135 gpm at 5 feet of head to 112 gpm at 20 feet of head. Buyers needing higher lift or greater volume at lower head should verify these curves against their system design. The screened intake prevents debris entry but is not rated for solids handling.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2 HP 230V fountain pump and what step is often missed?
Submerge the pump, connect the 1 1/4 in NPT discharge, and plug the 12 ft cord into a 230V supply. The step often missed is verifying the 11 A circuit can handle the load.
What maintenance or replacement will the brass-housing fountain pump need later?
Clean the screened intake regularly to prevent clogging. Inspect the brass housing and seals for wear; replace seals or the entire pump if flow drops below the rated 135 gpm at 5 ft head.
What limit appears first when the 2 HP fountain pump runs continuously?
The 11 A motor draw at 230V is the first limit. Sustained operation near the 68 ft maximum head increases heat and amperage, risking thermal overload before flow drops to 112 gpm at 20 ft head.
