Max Flow Two Pond Pump, 600 Gal Review

Max Flow Two Pond Pump, 600 Gal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this pump as a package deal with the 16 watt bio/uv fish mate filter. It's a great little pump and you can't beat the price. Pump does not come with a filter pad but you can pick one up at places like Lowes or Home Depot. The inlet reciever on the Fishmate filter is a little bit small if you're running a length(5 to 6 feet or more) on a pitch. You might encounter a flow problem.

I stepped the size of the inlet up by gluing a coupling onto it and chose a hose size that fit over the coupling. This fixed the flow problem I was having. I didn't have a problem with too much flow after I did this, it was perfect. If you're running a length that's less then 5 feet(pump to filter) on a pitch, I'd recommend using the standard inlet that's given.

There'a also a "flow valve" that's included with the pump for a waterfall flow adjustment you can modify to use if needed.

I bought this product in June with the filter to hook up to it, right around algae season.All things considered, this is the most bang for my buck I've ever gotten.My pond water has been crystal clear since I installed this.Not very loud (barely a hum, probably less if you have a deeper pond), and quite powerful, this is one of the best investments I have made for my pond.

I needed a new pump for a garden pond renovation...one that would produce a reasonable flow at about 4 feet of static head.This 400 gph pump produces about 200 gph at that head, fitting my needs.I had used Beckett pumps before and was really pleased with their performance.This was a great buy.

Laguna Max-Flo 2900 Electronic Waterfall & Filter Pump - Laguna PT350 Review

Laguna Max-Flo 2900 Electronic Waterfall & Filter Pump - Laguna PT350
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pump is awsome only 130 watts for 2900 gphvs my old sunterra that sucked 550 watts 2000 gph for not much of a waterfall effect. I did upgrade the output hose to do 1 1/2 inch ID vs my old one of only 1 inch. This pump is definatly a waterfall pump, you can hear the water from quite a distance.This is delivering two to three times the output my old pump for about 1/4 the electric cost.I have a waterfall and a stream running into my pond and this pump delivers pleanty of waterto run both very effectivly.My only concern is I may have to install a valve to tame it down a touch if need be if the neighbors start complaining.

Pondmaster PMK1350 Pond Filter with 350-GPH Pump and Bonus Fountain Head Review

Pondmaster PMK1350 Pond Filter with 350-GPH Pump and Bonus Fountain Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these pumps and it workded perfectly...so much so that I recommended it to my friends and also bought 2 new pumps for my new pond. HOWEVER, there seems to be a manufacturing defect in the newer pumps because on both of my new pumps...the hose connecting the pump to the filter does not fit tightly...I connected one of the pumps in the morning and went to work and when I came home in the evening I noticed that the pump was very low...I decided to clean the filters...then I realised that the filter was no longer even connected to the pump...so I reconnected it and turned back on the pump but it still did not work any better...I then proceeded to take a better look and thats when I realised that because the hose had disconnected from the pump it was jus sucking water from the bottom of the pond and had sucked in one of my baby Kois and killed it.

I am not discouraging anyone from buying this pump but if you do make sure you put on a hose clamp or something to prevent it from killing your baby fishes.

Sunterra 202000 Pond Pump 2000 GPH, Black Review

Sunterra 202000 Pond Pump 2000 GPH, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have purchased four of these pumps over the past 5 years.Luckily they have two year warranties with them, because you will need it. The first two ran for about 4 months, then would randomly turn off and on until they quit altogether.I was promptly sent two replacements, which lasted the rest of the summer, then quit for no reason in early December.Sunterra sent me two more, and they lasted until about July of the next summer, then they broke.The impellers will just disintegrate after a while.I inquired about replacements, and they told me my warranty was expired.So I bought two more, hoping to not have the same issues.These were the same model number, but a different, newer style.Guess what?They worked for a short time, then the impellers broke on them too.Keep in mind, my pond is crystal clear and has no debris to impede the flow of water.These just break for no reason.I wrote Sunterra an email, and they sent me two replacements.I just opened them and they were both broken before I even got a chance to use them.I have since contacted them for replacements for my replacements, but after this warranty is over, I will never buy another Sunterra pump again.

Product Description:
The pump is at the heart of a water garden.Without it, water will not circulate to create a healthy and balanced ecosystem.Sunterra pumps circulate water to help prevent breeding conditions for unwanted insects while oxygenating it for plants and fish.Pumps are distinguished by the gallons per hour they produce at one foot of lift or head.All Sunterra pumps are submersible and must be placed in water to function properly.Direct Drive pumps are more powerful and provide higher GPH output than magnetic drive pumps.These pumps are energy efficient, water cooled and use no oil.Direct Drive pumps are designed for use in dirty water applications where the possibility of water impurities is high.All Sunterra pumps are 100% water tested and have a 25 foot power cord.The pump is 2000 gallons per hour and has a maximum lift of 23 feet.This pump can handle a larger volume of water and can be used in large water garden applications and those containing waterfalls.

Laguna Max-Flo 1500 Electronic Waterfall & Filter Pump - Laguna PT344 Review

Laguna Max-Flo 1500 Electronic Waterfall & Filter Pump - Laguna PT344
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a previous Laguna pump which I purchased from a pond store several years ago.It was not actually the one which matched my Laguna Pressure-Pro ofilter; instead, it was the closest match from ones they have in stock.When the old pump failed, I checked the manual and found the recommended pump.It was available here at Amazon and fits my existing Click-Fit couplings, allowing me to install it without having to disassemble any of the tubing for my pond and waterfall.It works like a charm, actually better than my old pump did.

If you are shopping for this on the Internet without advice from a pond expert, be sure to match the pump size and output with your filter.You must also take into account the height of your waterfall, if any, and the distance that your water will be flowing.

Danner 02720 Pond Mag 9.5 950-Gallon-Per-Hour Pump with Foam Prefilter

I have been using this pump for about a month, and it has been working well.It pumps a pond at the bottom of a waterfall, through a filter, and into the upper pond.The lift is about 3 ft, so I get about 500 gph for the system.

The pump seems sturdy and well built.No problems so far.

The only issue with the order is that the description said the filter was a foam block, when in fact it was a plastic cage.I don't have an issue with this because the cage works better in my application (pumping some silt is not an issue).

Average Reviews:

First, the seller, OK Sales did a fine job.They packaged and shipped as you would wish.The pump, however has issues.This came with a nice filter box and generous filter pads.This is ideal for my pond, under the live oak tree.The pump, while listed as 210 gallons, was very small in size and was not a very strong push.It went at one speed then drastically dropped pressure to a dribble.I contacted the Beckett company.They were VERY nice and agreed to ship another pump for a $5 fee.OK, I'll go along with that.I haven't received the new one yet as I just completed the transaction with Beckett.If I had it to do over, I'd go with another Pondmaster brand.

Product Description:
Add a pump, fountain, and filter to your pond at once using the Beckett Professional Filter and Fountain Kit. This kit contains all you need to begin effectively filtering your pond water. Place the included 210 gph pump inside the filter box, and surround it with the biological media balls. These media are covered in spokes of differing heights, offering several crevices for biological bacteria to establish a colony. The coarse and fine filter mats that cover the pump act as a macrofilter, keeping debris from nearing your pump. The lid of the box has a fine screen as well, to allow water in but prevent large debris from entering the unit. This specially designed kit also features risers and two different fountain heads, so you can choose to add a more dramatic feature to your water garden. Choose either the three tier or flower shaped fountain head, and attach it to the top of the riser. Open the diverter valve to power just the fountain, or alter it to power both a fountain and spitter or other small water feature. Use only one riser for a smaller fountain or bubbler. This unit is best suited for filtering ponds up to 350 gallons, and is designed for use in ponds approximately 18 inches deep. The black color and compact size will remain unobtrusive. Essential for fish and plants. Kit includes three tier fountain nozzle, 1440 diverter valve with flow control, and two extension tubes (for waterfall attachment), pump, biological media balls and 20 foot power cord.

Beckett 7060310 535 GPH Submersible Pump Review

Beckett 7060310 535 GPH Submersible Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pump runs reliably for a little under two years. I just bought my third one yesterday and had a note to myself to buy another one next month so that I'd have it when the current one failed. Unfortunately I was one month under in my prediction. I predicted one year 10 months and it failed at one year nine months.

I run mine 24 hours a day every day in a pond that holds around 400-500 gallons.

A filter tip that works for me after years of experimentation and does not require a lot of maintenance: put about an inch of aquarium gravel in the bottom of a medium square pond plant basket. Place the pump inside the basket and then cover it with more gravel so the gravel is to the top of the basket. Every few weeks or as needed vacuum the upper layer of gravel with a large Python aquarium siphon Python No Spill Clean and Fill. Vacuuming the gravel will restore the water flow.

Pondmaster 02215 500 GPH Pond Pump with Filter and Fountain Set Review

Pondmaster 02215 500 GPH Pond Pump with Filter and Fountain Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have two of these. One is 250 gph and one is 500 gph. They've both been running 24/7 for over a year and we haven't had any trouble with either one of them. The filters are easy to get out and clean and replacement filter media is readily available and inexpensive. Just make sure everything is properly and securely reconnected if you take them apart so baby fish won't get sucked in. We've never had a problem getting the hose reconnected or putting the thing back together.

We haven't noticed that our electric bill in any worse because of these.

Our pond is approximately 300 gals with goldfish and plants. We loosely cover the pond in the winter with greenhouse plastic (using a dome-shaped frame made of PVC sprinkler pipe) so the pumps can continue to run and provide aeration for the fish all year long.

UPDATE: June 18, 2009 - both pumps are still going strong. I am currently buying new sets of filter media as the original filters have finally started to fall apart -- although they are still usable, they are just getting shaggy looking and I'm not sure how much longer they will really be effective. We have continued to run both pumps 24/7/365.

Pondmaster 02920 20-Watt Ultra-Violet-Light Pond Water Clarifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a 20W bulb for ~2000 gallon pond. It has been running a couple of weeks and the water is clearer, but not clear. Perhaps the bulb included was not up to par. My biggest beef is that the enclosed set up diagram was completely wrong. You will need to attach a 3/4" fitting on the light housing to the 1" inside diameter of the 1 1/4" hose from a typical pond pump. You will need two sets of 3/4" to 1" nalgene fittings and two-3/4" and two-1" hose clamps.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Pondmaster 02920 20-Watt Ultra-Violet-Light Pond Water Clarifier

Product Description:
Is algae making that pond water look a little green? This 20-watt clarifier uses ultraviolet light to kill algae and harmful bacteria for cleaner water and smoother pump operation. The light is submersible so it doesn't detract from the natural pond look, and, at the same time, its slim design tucks behind pond borders for concealed above-surface installation (with proper tubing).
The clarifier is designed to work in conjunction with pumps with up to 1,800 gallons per hour of output, and clarifies water in ponds holding up to 3,000 gallons. The cleansing, ultraviolet light is equipped with a 3/4-inch barbed intake and outlet for attaching flexible tubing. A vortex flow design increases water exposure time and the unit's slim diameter brings more of the water closer to the intense UV rays for optimal efficiency. An 18-foot power cord easily reaches nearby power sources. Soft, blue indicator lights show that the unit is working. Additionally, water can be pumped through the UV light and then into a biological filter (sold separately) where debris and dead algae can be trapped and decomposed.
