The PerformancePro Artesian 2 High RPM is a high-performance external pond pump that pairs strong flow with solid head pressure through 2-inch ports. Running at 3450 RPM, this pump delivers 7,440 to 14,160 GPH with up to 65 feet of head — a versatile combination that works for everything from mid-size koi ponds to larger installations with demanding plumbing layouts. Six models range from 1/2 HP to 3 HP, with smaller units offering dual 115V/230V wiring flexibility. The 2-inch ports make this pump a natural fit for existing pond plumbing — most koi pond systems are built around 2-inch pipe, so you won't need to upsize your fittings. Higher RPM output means stronger performance at elevation, making the Artesian 2 High RPM a good choice when your system has moderate head requirements that a low-RPM pump can't handle. Whether you're running a pressurized bead filter, pushing water up to a raised waterfall, or circulating a pond that needs more turnover than a low-RPM pump can provide, the Artesian 2 High RPM fills the gap between quiet efficiency and raw power. It's the workhorse of the PerformancePro 2-inch lineup.
