Review on πŸ’§ VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump - Ultra Quiet Water Pump with 10ft High Lift, 24W Power, 6.5ft Cord, 3 Nozzles - Ideal for Fish Tank, Pond, Aquarium, Statuary, Hydroponics - 3000L/H Pumping Capacity by Amy Smith

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Watts not as advertised

for those skeptical of the advertised pump in watts per gallon per hour, I felt it was off, every other pump was about 50 watts per 800 gallons per hour. while this pump requires 24 watts. Well, it turns out it's 57 watts, that's headless and even no whistle. I just throw it in the water, turn it on, wait for it to settle down and take a picture of the kilowatt. If the pipe and head are included I'm sure it will be higher performance. I'll probably leave it like any cheap water pump, it matches the rating of other pumps, but I can only give it 2 stars because it grossly misled consumers by advertising it as 24W. I mean most will see this and it will be a deal breaker as it easily outperforms all other pumps in terms of watts gph and price. This is the best deal until you realize that these days you can print whatever you want on the box since little is done to regulate what the company advertises to be true. So be careful, it's not 24W but around 50-60W of power.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • I will add later
