TotalPond 1200 GPH Waterfall Pump

This is a very nice pump. It has a quality feeling in the way it looks, feels and operates. It is nearly silent and very smooth running. The flow is very steady and uniform. It easily achieves the claimed 1200 GPH, and I have confirmed this by timing it in emptying 400 gallons from a pond. I have included a photo of the pump in use in its mesh filter bag, and also of the flow it creates over a 12 inch wide spillway (at only a few inches lift) through about 20' of 1.25 inch tubing. I have used the pump for over six months so far with flawless performance, and will update if any problems arise with more use. *Update* The pump has been in continuous use (24 x 7 x 365) for almost four years now with no issues. It is still running perfectly. *Update* This pump lasted for almost exactly six years of continuous use, then failed without warning. While in use it was smooth, quiet and flawless. I consider that to be good durability for the cost. I would have replaced it with the identical pump, but needed to get up and running again quickly. I had to buy something locally instead of ordering and waiting for delivery. I still highly recommend the pump. I recommend replacing it after five years, and keeping the old one as a spare in case of failure. Well worth the money.
