Description
The NEWA MJ500 Water Pump delivers 500 litres per hour maximum flow rate with a 120cm maximum head height, providing reliable, energy-efficient water circulation for small hydroponic systems, compact recirculating setups, water feature applications, and indoor growing situations where a lower flow rate is appropriate for the system volume and plant requirements. NEWA’s MJ series magnetic drive design delivers the reliability advantage that growing operations demand in a compact, submersible form factor ideal for smaller reservoirs and growing systems.
Ideal Applications for the MJ500
At 500 litres per hour, the NEWA MJ500 is appropriately sized for growing systems where higher-capacity pumps would provide more flow than the system needs. For small NFT setups with two to four channels, the MJ500 provides the gentle but consistent flow that keeps the thin film of nutrient solution moving without creating turbulence that disrupts root contact with the channel. In small DWC or recirculating systems with reservoirs up to 40 litres, the MJ500 provides effective circulation without the oversized power draw of a higher-capacity pump. Compact hydroponic kits and propagation units that include an active irrigation component frequently use pumps in this flow-rate range. The MJ500 is also a suitable choice for aquaponics systems and water features where a reliable, silent, energy-efficient submersible pump in this flow class is required. NEWA’s quality engineering and magnetic drive reliability apply equally to this compact model — you get the same long-service performance in a smaller, lower-power package. We stock the full NEWA MJ range at The Horticulture Company to match pump performance to system requirements at every scale.
Energy Efficiency and Quiet Operation
The MJ500 consumes minimal power relative to its flow output. Magnetic drive motors are inherently more efficient than shaft-drive designs at low and medium flow rates. The pump runs silently when fully submerged — no mechanical noise from the impeller or motor assembly. This makes it suitable for use in proximity to growing areas where minimal acoustic disturbance is desired.
