Teton XS Series is a compact submersible pump for garden fountains, decorative statuary, small ponds, aquariums, and indoor water features. Six models provide maximum flow rates from 75 to 265 GPH, making the series suitable for applications ranging from small tabletop features to larger decorative fountains and small pond systems.
A compact motor and impeller assembly provide reliable water movement while keeping the pump footprint small. The built-in flow control allows water output to be adjusted directly at the pump, making it easier to match the flow to the fountain or water feature without installing a separate control valve.
The motor is fully encapsulated and includes self-protection against overheating. The XS Series can be used indoors or outdoors and is designed for water temperatures up to 95°F (35°C). For electrical safety, the pump must be connected to a properly grounded GFCI-protected receptacle and should remain fully submerged during operation.
Routine maintenance is straightforward. Teton recommends regularly cleaning the rotor/impeller and pump chamber to remove debris and lime-scale buildup. Mineral deposits can be removed by soaking the affected components in vinegar or lemon juice before reassembly.
Magnetic Drive Operation
- A sealed electromagnet in the motor housing generates a rotating magnetic field.
- The field drives a stainless steel shaft impeller fitted with a seamlessly coated magnetic impeller — the only moving part, with no direct mechanical connection.
- Water is drawn in through the prefilter screen at the base and pumped upward through the outlet at the selected flow rate.
- The built-in flow control dial restricts the outlet to reduce flow without creating back-pressure stress on the motor.
- The thermally protected motor monitors operating temperature and shuts down automatically to prevent burnout if overheated.
