Review on 12"X 15.7" Coolrunner Pump Barrier Bag - Large Black Media Bag For Pond Biological Filters by Rance Riley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Plugs the pump itself when it's supposed to prevent debris from plugging it!

Extremely disappointed. My old pump died and I replaced it with a bigger one. The old pump shield was too small so I bought this one. The mesh on this bag is fabric, not rigid wire netting like my last one (like a pool skimmer net or window screen). Hence, the fabric is getting sucked into my new more powerful pump. It's preventing leaves and matter from plugging up the pump by plugging the pump up itself! Total waste of money. It's laying in my flower bed, where I chucked it when I realized it was actually harming my pump rather than protecting it from working too hard and burning out. Guess I could use it as an $18 morel hunting bag. Ridiculous.

Pros
  • Perfect for my pump
Cons
  • The material of the bag may not be durable enough to withstand heavy use
