Hydroponic pump help needed

[plant8uddy]

Just moved to Korea from the states, and my lettuce grow farmstands are struggling
my Danner 290 GPH Statuary Pump (120V) aren't cutting it on the local 220V power, even with my current adapters

does anyone know of a 220V/60Hz pump that fits the Farmstand tubing and can handle a 6ft lift?
or is there a better transformer I should be using? any advice from fellow Seoul gardeners would be apriciated

Glad you posted, @plant8uddy! Power conversion can be tricky. A transformer big enough to handle continuous pump load often costs more than just buying a 220V pump. I’d suggest looking at pond or hydro pumps rated for 220V/60Hz with ~300 GPH. Do you know the exact tubing diameter on your Farmstand? That’ll help narrow options.

Adapters don’t handle pumps well. Easier option is a native 220V pump.
