The intake tends to clog with this pump. When you have it in your pond, keep it in a milk crate with wire mesh around it to allow water to pass but not weeds, bugs, and other small objects that can severly hinder its operation

My smaller pond pump failed after 5 years, so I purchased the next larger size Beckett pump (325 gals/medium ponds). Delivery through Amazon was very prompt, but the pump was defective. I contacted the Beckett company and they promptly shipped a new pump. Their customer service was great to work with! The new pump is in the garden pond and working quite well.

I called Amazon customer service and was “guaranteed” that the cord was 20 feet “because it is based upon the manufacturers description.” I ordered the pump because I need a 20 foot cord and this was the exact model I needed to replace. The new pumps only have a 16 foot cord. Take my word – I had it shipped from Amazon and it is really only 16 feet.

Shipment was prompt and as specified. As to the pump, it works fine so far, but is not the most powerful. I have a 5 foot high waterfall with a pond that is about 6 X 4 feet and about a foot deep. I would have bought a pump that is at least twice as powerful. I did write the vendor to see if I could make an exchange for another model, but they never replied.

We’ve had one of these models in our waterfall for 4 years. It failed today after running almost continuously during that period. Our fountain is three tiered with a 4″ fall spout. The top of the fountain is about 30″ above the pump. The total volume of water in our fountain is less than 20 gallons. We’re very pleased this pump lasted 4 years and will be purchasing this same unit as a replacement. The waterfall is outside and the sound of the pump is imperceptible. The small grill has kept out debris and we’ve only had to clear it once in four years – but our waterfall is in a rather clean area of the yard with no trees or other items that would clog the pump.
