Which Replacement Pump Fits Your Indoor Garden? Matching the Pump to Your Model Number

The water has stopped circulating, the pump hums or does nothing, and the replacement you found online says “fits most gardens.” Working out which replacement pump fits your indoor garden is less about a serial number than about three things: the brand’s garden family, its generation, and the pump’s connector. Order on a guess and you can end up with a pump that plugs into nothing, or one that needs a different power supply.

This page walks through where to read each brand’s identifying marks, then gives a chart that maps what you see to the pump path. It also covers the older-model traps, where to look the part up, and what to do when the label is gone.

The Short Answer

• Start with the garden, not the pump. Indoor-garden pumps are matched by garden family and generation. Public serial-number decoders for them were not found.
• AeroGarden: read the model label on the base, under the water bowl (Scotts Miracle-Gro AeroGarden FAQ), then match your family to the pump listing.
• Rise: generation decides the pump (Personal Garden, Family, Rise Garden 2/Roma, Rise Garden 3).
• Gardyn: Home or Studio, then the Home 1 to 4 visual cues (Gardyn model identification), then whether your lid and pump have the watertight connector (Gardyn pump replacement).
• LetPot: choose the variant (Max, SE, Air, Mini, Lite) on the official pump page.
• iDOO: our advice is to find the exact model code first. iDOO’s manuals page lists its gardens by model code and offers manuals, not a pump selector (iDOO manuals).
• Click & Grow Smart Garden 9: it waters through wicks and advertises “no pumps,” so you may not need a pump at all.

Plumbing habits do not carry over. Escutcheon markings, cartridge stem prints and under-trim stamps belong to faucets, not countertop hydroponic gardens.

Read the Label, the Generation, and the Connector

Visual cues narrow things down. They do not finish the job. Use them to identify brand, family and generation, then confirm against a label, a manual, the pump body, the connector, and the power-supply rating before you buy.

AeroGarden

Scotts Miracle-Gro’s AeroGarden FAQ says the serial and model numbers are on the product label on the base, underneath the water bowl. To read it, unplug the pump and power cables, lift the water bowl off the base, and read the sticker (Scotts Miracle-Gro AeroGarden FAQ). The official current replacement pump is Model #200623, which AeroGarden lists for all Farm, Harvest and Bounty models and classic AeroGarden Ultra models (AeroGarden Replacement Pump #200623). It is sold by garden family. That is not the same as “any AeroGarden.”

Rise Gardens

Rise’s manuals page separates Rise Garden 3 (purchased from November 2024 onward), Rise Garden 2 and Rise Roma (December 2022 through October 2024), and the original Family Garden (before December 2022) (Rise Gardens assembly manuals). Rise publishes separate pump parts for the Personal Garden DC35, Rise Garden 2 DC40, Rise Garden 3 DC40, and Family/first-generation DC40 (Rise replacement parts collection). For Rise, your purchase date and garden type do the work a date code would do on other products.

Gardyn

Gardyn’s model-identification article says there are two device types (Gardyn model identification). Home has 3 columns, 2 light bars, a 5-gallon tank and 30 plant positions. Studio has 2 columns, 1 light bar, a 4-gallon tank and 16 plant positions. Home models are told apart by the lid and column seal: Home 1 has a light bamboo lid and no vine design, Home 2 a light lid with a vine design, Home 3 a dark Hevia wood lid and no grey column seal, and Home 4 a dark lid with a grey column seal. Gardyn’s pump procedure then depends on device type, model, and whether the lid and pump have a watertight connector (Gardyn pump replacement).

LetPot and iDOO

LetPot’s official replacement-pump page is organised by garden family, not by a code: Max, SE, Air, Mini or Lite (LetPot replacement pump). Check the family name, pod count, app device name and the pump connector before ordering.

iDOO’s official manuals library lists models such as I-HGH01, ID-IG301, ID-IG302S and ID-IG307S (iDOO manuals). Model code matters. Manual copies hosted on third-party sites document a 140 L/h pump flow for the ID-IG306 and 130 L/h for the ID-IG308 (ManualsLib ID-IG308, Manualzz ID-IG306). Treat those as supporting documentation, not current manufacturer policy.

What about serial numbers and date codes?

The research found no public, homeowner-facing decoder that turns an AeroGarden, Rise, Gardyn, LetPot or iDOO serial number into a production year or a pump. Use the serial and model label mainly to identify your garden family, or to give manufacturer support when you contact them.

Which Replacement Pump Fits: The Chart

What you have	How to confirm it	Pump path the manufacturer’s pages point to
AeroGarden Farm, Harvest, Bounty or classic Ultra	Model label on the base, under the bowl (Scotts Miracle-Gro AeroGarden FAQ)	Model #200623, pump only (AeroGarden Replacement Pump #200623)
Older AeroGarden 7, Extra, Deluxe, Pro100, Pro200	Existing pump label and connector	Pump #100623, according to a parts retailer’s listing (AeroGarden #100623 parts listing), not AeroGarden. We found no manufacturer page for these units (see below)
Rise Personal Garden	Garden type	DC35 pump
Rise Garden 2 or Roma	Purchase window, Dec 2022 to Oct 2024	Rise Garden 2 DC40
Rise Garden 3	Purchased Nov 2024 or later	Rise Garden 3 DC40
Rise original Family Garden	Purchased before Dec 2022	Family/first-generation DC40, which needs the right power supply
Gardyn Home 1 to 4 or Studio	Columns, lid, column seal (Gardyn model identification), connector	Model-specific procedure on Gardyn’s support page (Gardyn pump replacement)
LetPot Max, SE, Air, Mini or Lite	Product family name and pod count	Matching variant on LetPot’s pump page
iDOO (ID-IG301, ID-IG302S, ID-IG307S and others)	Exact model code	iDOO’s manuals page offers no pump selector. Match flow, voltage and connector, and hedge any substitute
Click & Grow Smart Garden 9	Wicks, “no pumps” on the product page	No pump. Inspect the wicks

Two Rise details are worth knowing. The DC35 Personal Garden pump is listed for the Personal Garden only, with a 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug, 200 L/h maximum flow, 2.4 W and 12 VDC, according to Rise’s product page (Rise DC35 Personal Garden pump). And Rise states that early Family Gardens used the DC30 pump and later units moved to the DC40; converting an original Family Garden to the DC40 needs the correct pump assembly and power supply (Rise DC40 guide).

Older AeroGarden Units: Do Not Assume #200623

This is where a wrong order is most likely. Based on a parts retailer’s listing rather than the manufacturer, pump model #100623 (AeroGrow part 971150-0100) applies to older AeroGarden 7 units bought before December 2012, Extra units bought before May 2013 without the Miracle-Gro logo on the hood, and the Deluxe, Pro100 and Pro200 (AeroGarden #100623 parts listing). That listing is weaker evidence than an active manufacturer page.

So the rule is this. #200623 is the official current pump for the Farm, Harvest, Bounty and classic Ultra families. If your garden looks similar but is older, check the existing pump label and connector before you buy anything. Owner reports describe splicing a newer pump onto an older connector. Those are field reports, not manufacturer-supported repairs, and we do not recommend them as normal advice.

Check stock and seller too. Scotts Miracle-Gro’s fiscal 2024 materials refer to winding down or discontinuing AeroGarden (Scotts Miracle-Gro FY2024 results). The research found the #200623 page showing $14.95 but out of stock when it was checked, so confirm current availability and who is actually selling.

Click & Grow: Check the Wicks Before Shopping for a Pump

If you searched for a Click & Grow replacement pump, first confirm the product really is a Click & Grow. The Smart Garden 9 waters through wicks and advertises “no pumps” (Click & Grow Smart Garden 9). According to Click & Grow’s wick support page, water-transfer failure can come from hard-water buildup or roots growing through the wicks, and the repair path is soaking or replacing them (Click & Grow wick support). Click & Grow lists a 9-pack of wicks at $9.95 (Click & Grow wicks). Aftermarket conversions that add a pump exist, but they do not turn the stock Smart Garden into a pump-based system.

Where to Look the Part Up, and What It Costs

Pump lookup is mostly a manufacturer-support and manual workflow. There is no universal retailer parts finder for these gardens like the ones for faucet cartridges. Use sources in this order: manufacturer product and support pages, official manuals, then retailer listings for price and availability only.

Retailers are price examples, not compatibility proof. Home Depot’s hydroponic-pumps page is a generic pump category, not a model matcher (Home Depot hydroponic pumps). Match a listing against AeroGarden’s own part page before trusting its “fits” wording.

Manufacturer prices found: Rise lists model-specific pumps from about $9.80 to $29.50, including the first-generation DC40 Pump Assembly at $29.50 and a DC40 Power Supply, listed as compatible only with the Family Rise Garden, at $21.00 (Rise replacement parts collection, Rise DC40 power supply). By our arithmetic, a first-time Family Garden DC40 conversion with both parts comes to about $50.50 before shipping and tax. LetPot’s replacement pump was $9.99. Gardyn’s replacement-parts page says some prices may not be listed and to contact support, so we give no Gardyn price range (Gardyn replacement parts). Prices change, so treat these as snapshots.

Check what is in the box. AeroGarden’s #200623 page says the item includes the pump only. Rise sells the pump, filter, outlet tube, coupler and power supply as separate parts. Confirm whether you also need a filter, tubing, coupler or adapter.

Cleaning cadence: professional opinions vary by brand

Before you replace a weak pump, a clean may fix it, and the guidance on how often varies. Rise support gives a six-month DC40 deep-clean sequence, while Rise’s own blog recommends rinsing or soaking the pump more often. Follow your own brand’s guidance.

If You Still Cannot Tell

Photograph before you guess. Take the whole garden, the product label, the underside or base, the pump body, the pump connector, the power adapter’s output label, the reservoir layout, the tubing route, the underside of the lid if relevant, and the app screen if the garden pairs to one. Then contact the manufacturer. For units under warranty, Gardyn’s replacement-parts article asks owners to send photos of a broken part to support so Gardyn can confirm which part needs replacing (Gardyn replacement parts).

Gardyn warning, and do not hedge this one. Follow the model-specific instructions in Gardyn’s pump-replacement article (Gardyn pump replacement). Do not remove the wood top, because doing so damages the seal and voids the warranty. The same article says the clear gel on the pump connectors is FDA-approved food-safe gel that protects the pump from splashes, and that there is no need to wipe any away. Gardyn’s warranty page also directs owners of devices bought before April 24, 2024 to customer service (Gardyn warranty), which helps if you bought a used unit and cannot tell the generation.

A generic hydroponic pump is a last resort. A generic submersible pump can look similar, but connector, voltage, flow rate, pump placement, tubing and control behaviour all have to match first. Faucet-repair brands such as Danco or BrassCraft are not relevant here.

You may not need a plumber. These are low-voltage appliances with proprietary connectors, so manufacturer support or the retailer comes first. Plumber cost guides put common hourly or service-call rates at roughly $75 to $150 (Fixr plumber rates, Housecall Pro plumbing price guide), far above most of the pump prices above. A plumber becomes relevant only if the garden is tied into household supply or drain lines, or is leaking from a building connection.

Replacing the whole garden can be rational for an inexpensive countertop unit when the model cannot be identified, the connector is proprietary, no manufacturer pump exists, or pump plus labour approaches the price of a new garden.

What to Do Next

Pull the label or generation cue for your brand, run it against the chart, and confirm on the manufacturer’s own page before ordering. For related guides, visit the Smart & Indoor Gardens hub.
