TurboKlone Cloner Pumps | 250 or 450 GPH, Submersible or Inline

Matching TurboKlone Replacement Pumps to the Right Machine

These are the replacement pumps TurboKlone fits to its own cloners, at 250 or 450 GPH. The manifold above the pump was built around one specific pressure. That pressure is what puts an even mist across every site. Get it wrong and you get a strong spray near the pump and a dribble at the end. Match the pump to the machine. The 250 GPH pump goes in a T24. The 450 GPH pump goes in a T48 or a T96. One more exists in the wider range at 650 GPH for the T144. If your machine is a T144, this is not your pump. Under-pumping is the failure people notice. Over-pumping is the one they do not, and it drives mist past the collars and floods the lid instead of wetting the stems. Both are avoidable by reading the badge on the machine rather than measuring the old pump's fitting.

Why an Oil Free Cloner Pump Matters in a Reservoir

Oil free is the specification that separates this from a basic utility pump, and it is not a comfort feature. An oil lubricated pump that develops a seal leak puts that oil into the water the cuttings sit in. A film on the surface of a cloner reservoir ends that batch. These are oil free, so a failure is a failure rather than a contamination event. The second useful property is that either pump runs submersed or inline. Most TurboKlone machines run the pump inside the reservoir, which is simplest and keeps the noise down. Plumbing it inline puts the pump outside the tank. That makes it easier to service and easier to isolate when a machine is cleaned. There is no wrong answer and both are supported. One practical note on replacement. A pump that has slowed rather than stopped is usually clogged rather than dead. Strip the inlet screen and the impeller housing first, because root debris and biofilm build up there long before the motor gives up.

Key Features

• Two flow rates offered: 250 GPH for the T24 and 450 GPH for the T48 and T96.
• Flow is matched to the manifold: Not a preference; it is what gives an even mist across all sites.
• Oil free: A seal failure cannot put oil into water the cuttings sit in.
• Submersed or inline: Either pump works both ways, so service access is your choice.
• The T144 pump is not one of these: That machine takes a 650 GPH pump, which is not one of these two.
• Check the badge, not the fitting: The old pump's fitting size does not tell you the flow rate.
• A slow pump is usually clogged: Strip the inlet screen and impeller housing before replacing.
• TurboKlone parts: EGH-018 for the 250 GPH and EGH-020 for the 450 GPH.
