Dolphin AV-50 Pump for Sale

[koikeepr]

I have a Dolphin AV-50 pump for sale that has been taken off my old pond. It has just been used 1 year and is in near perfect condition. Has been kept in a filter pit the whole time. I bought it from the site I have listed here. As you can see, the diaphram is extremely cheap to replace should that go out. And that's why I bought the darned thing. Has a 3/4" air outlet.

I will send along the William Lim stainless steel 12-way manifold that I paid and extra $15.50. I have a few 5" air discs kicking around that I'll send along too--they will need a good soaking and scrubbing though. I'll send along any air line I have attached to this. so you can drop the lines wherever you want.

Anyone with $65 bucks+ shipping can have this lot! I'll send it most economical shipping possible. This pump is heavy.

Someone wanted this pump, but can't remember who!

Sold to Jason!

Will have a Laguna Pressure filter and Power-flo pump that's coming out of retirement in the shed shortly. Stay tuned!

nuts could haev used this

 

[bsr8129]

depending on model, i might want the power flo pump, let me know

 

[koikeepr]

It's the pressure flo 2100 pressure filter (will need a new UV bulb since I did not purchase a new one). The pump is the powerjet 1500, I think. I believe it's this one, but will check. You can use the little fountain part if you like, I know I have all the fancy heads for it. Or you can just turn that off entirely.

I still have the boxes/instructions for both items.

i got the air pump yesterday. i hooked it up and it pumped but not much air at all and i could easily put my thumb over the output and stop it all together. so i took it apart and found a piece that was loose. fixed that and its working much better. but i still think its a little weak but i don't have anything to compare it to. ill look at how to replace the diaphram to see if anything else is loose or what ever.

Again i was surprised to see how big the pond equipment was. i like the long power cord and am planning to hide it back from the pond a bit. does the length of air hose matter? like will it affect how much air comes out? I'm thinking of hiding the pump maybe 15ft away and then run 3/4in air hose back to the pond for 15ft to the diverter and then the smaller hose to all the outputs. what size of hose does the barbed fittings take? 3/8 isn't that normal aquarium air hose?

I'm assuming whatever it was got knocked out in shipping, as I tested it before sending it. Any pump with a diaphragm should be replaced every year or two. I changed it out last about a year ago. Just part of normal pond maintenance. They cost about 10-11 bucks.

There's also a filter in the back that I cleaned out before sending. But that should be cleaned out every 2-3 months. Just give it a good scrubbing.

I had it about 12 feet away with no problem. I can't tell you if normal aquarium hosing fits those outputs. I'm assuming that's right, but I always used the bigger hosing so I could get more air out of it.

i see where the filter goes but there is no foam filter in there. ill look threw the box again when i get home as it was knocked off when i got it. i think ill hook it all up and try it out then if its not pushing enough air ill get the Diaphram & Valve Kit. kensfish.com is the only place i get even find it. ill look in to the bigger air hose.

There is a a small white colored (or ivory filter pad) in that little black panel. I cleaned it and put it back in. Not sure if you're looking in another area? The Pondmaster diaphrams are also interchangeable with the dolphin. PM me if you run into a snag.

 

[jason081180]

ok thanks

 

[koikeepr]

If the new diaphram doesn't take care of it, I'll gladly take it back. Just PM me with any issues.
