Yes, the Stuart Turner 460A pump can effectively empty a goldfish pond, provided it is fully submerged, positioned on a flat surface like a paving slab to avoid debris blockage, and no people or animals are in the water during operation. Ensure the float switch (if fitted) functions properly and that the pump is not sucking in air.

The pump must never run dry, needing a minimum water depth of 90 mm on the Supersub model and 100 mm on the Supervort models, at all times. Adjustment of the float switch is achieved by lengthening or shortening the cable through the moulded cable retention slot, which is located in the pump handle (Figs 6 and Note: When inserting cable into slot ensure it is fully engaged.
PIPEWORK WARNING Ensure pipework from pump is independently supported to prevent forces being transferred to outlet branch. General All models are supplied with a stepped hose connector (see pump connection section for details) which can be screwed directly into the pump discharge connection.
