good pump. but i don't think the max lift is correct?

good pump honestly, but i don't think the max lift is correct unless i dont know what the max lift means i have it going almost 13 feet exactly from my RO storage in my basement to the aquar

Pros
  • Easy to install and operate
Cons
  • The pump may be more expensive than other, comparable options

For the money, it is great!

bought this pump for use as a return in our small salt water tank. The "adjustable" function does not work hardly at all so it was switched out after about a month for a DC return pump for flow control. The pump has since then been used very successfully to mix salt and pump out old water from the tank and transfer new fresh salt water in during water changes. This pump has made the process very easy. No more doing it by hand and one person can now do the job of 2 or 3. This little pump has…

Pros
  • A versatile pump that can be used for a variety of applications
Cons
  • The pump may not be eligible for return or refund

High powered: my feedback

Great product! I have a tiered fountain that’s 5 ft high. Purchased the pump that would shoot 10ft to be safe. It shot way too high even on the lowest setting. I probably should have went with a 8ft high one. I clamped my tube in 5 spots to restrict water flow and it cured the problem. Lesson learned. Still awesome product that’s moves a lot of water.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • The pump may not be aesthetically pleasing for some users

Works great in my review

I really like this pump but since I use it in my little duck pond, I need to clean the impeller often. The front of this is harder to remove than ones I've had in the past.

Pros
  • Helps to maintain a healthy environment for your fish and plants
Cons
  • The pump may create too much water disturbance, causing stress for fish or other aquatic creatures

Great Pump best in my review

I needed a pump to lift water up 5 feet in a diy fountain. I use it daily for at least 5 to 6 hours and it works great. The pump may create significant water splashing or spraying during operation.

Pros
  • Ideal for use in both personal and professional settings
Cons
  • The pump may create significant water splashing or spraying during operation

Great Little Pump! in my review

I am impressed at the power of this little pump. I am using it in my NFT hydroponic set up. The power cord was also good quality, which is important for wet applications.

Pros
  • This is a replacement for one that ran continuously for several years without any trouble.
Cons
  • The 330GPH flow rate may be too strong for smaller fish tanks

Quiet and powerful pump

I bought the 880 GPH pump to replace a 440 GPH pump in a aeroponic installation. Although the particular design called for a 440 GPH pump, I found he spray nozzles were not putting out mist with enough force and volume. This pump from Kedsum did the job. One drawback I noticed though is that the submersible pump was warming the water. I had to lower the timer to 30 seconds on and 3 minutes off instead of 2 minutes on and 3 minutes off.

Pros
  • The compact size makes it ideal for use in tight spaces
Cons
  • The pump may not be suitable for use in outdoor ponds or other setups

Good choice for a smaller aquarium

I used this pump as a replacement for a Marineland Contour 5 as the previous one burnt out. It is more than enough flow for that tank as a nano reef but definitely too much as a freshwater setup.It works well enough but I have noticed an occasional stream of micro bubbles every so often which is frustrating but is is only a minor inconvenience.This tank is setup in an office but the pump is quiet enough that it doesn't disturb anyone around.Overall this pump is well worth the cost but I hope…

Pros
  • Comes with a user manual for easy reference
Cons
  • The pump may require additional equipment or accessories for optimal use

Works great and is very quiet. Great value.

I needed to replace a pump for my 11 foot high fountain that had worked for 14 years. This new pump was easy to install and worked perfectly from the start. My prior pump ran at 650 pm so it pumped a bit higher flow but this one still does the trick and is quieter.

Pros
  • I used it all summer in my pond. It worked great.
Cons
  • Good

Wire should be longer

The only issue I encountered was the length of the power wire. Everything else seems to be just fine. Hopefully this will last a few years.

Pros
  • Fits seamlessly into any aquatic or hydroponic setup
Cons
  • The pump may not be reliable for long-term use

Kedsum 880GPH pump, power cord has been updated!

The other reviews are pretty spot on, great little pump for the price, you really can't beat it. It replaced a Total Pond 500GPH pump from HD and definitely has more power. I'm running in a 55 gal barrel that was chopped for aquaponics and is buried in the ground at least 2.5ft. is feeding both the top of the barrel and a row of dutch bucket plants. With the old pump, that costs over twice as much, my drip lines at the end of the buckets were barely flowing when I opened up the valve on the…

Pros
  • Ensures optimal water circulation for improved health of your fish and plants
Cons
  • The pump may be prone to clogging or becoming blocked

Works well, very quiet, inexpensive.

I bought this as a replacement for a 400 GPH pump for the small waterfall in my 250 gallon landscape pond. I developed a hole in my old pond liner, and the pond emptied and the old pump burned out before I noticed. The output from the old pump wasn't enough for my satisfaction, so I saw the opportunity to upgrade. This pump does effectively double the output, although it's still less than I expected when the rise is barely 1 foot. The pump makes no noticeable noise or vibration, and physically…

Pros
  • Helps to aerate the water, providing a healthy environment for aquatic life
Cons
  • The pump may create too much heat in the aquarium or pond environment

No lift and loud best in my review

I bought this pump a few months ago but didn’t hook it up until yesterday.I regret not trying it sooner because now it is too late to return.It is loud and all I get is a trickle of water with my 4 ft fountain.A waste of moneyI am updating my review from 1 star to 3 based on the the experience that I had with Kedsum’s customer service. They were very helpful in offering me a solution to my problem.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures a long lifespan
Cons
  • The pump may have an unappealing or bulky design

Aquarium use: my feedback

This thing rips. I'm not sure how I lived without it. I place it in a 5G bucket, and then vacuum from the tank to the bucket. The pump moves the water from the bucket to the sink via a very long 50ft hose. It will definitely stay ahead of the vacuum. I then place the bucket into the tub, run water to the correct temperature as verified with a thermometer, then pump back into the tank.I only use the 5G bucket for this purpose, and clean it after vacuuming, and after filling the tank. I also dry…

Pros
  • The included suction cups help to keep the pump in place
Cons
  • The pump may not be compatible with certain types of power outlets

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No nozzles included.

Pump arrived today, there were no nozzle attachments with the packaging. This was disappointing but luckily I had a spare from an old pump that would fit. Also, there were no suction cup feet for the bottom of the Pump included either. Pump seems to run well but without the nozzles and suction cup feet, it may not be usable for some.

Pros
  • Mi hermano quedo encantado con esto. Le ha sido muy util.
Cons
  • The included power cord may not be long enough for some users

Very good for the money you spend

This pump works like a charm. I only gave 4 stars because man it is super noisy. However the power it says to raise the water volume in the tank so that water goes into the overflow box into sump is true! This is a very powerful pump. I haven't had any issues so far other than the noise. Hopefully it will last a while.

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to handle and transport
Cons
  • The pump may not be powerful enough to handle larger debris in ponds or aquariums

Prety good flow for a low cost

For as inexpensive as this pump is i didnt expect much. I got it for a dual reactor system i made on my 125 gallon aquarium. Surprisingly this pump supplies the manifold and the two chambers for carbon and gfo very nicely. I think i could add a 3rd chamber later down the road if i wanted and still use this pump.

Pros
  • Can help to prevent water from freezing in colder climates
Cons
  • The pump may require regular replacement of parts to maintain function

Pros
  • Gives you excellent control over the water flow rate and pressure
Cons
  • The pump may not be suitable for use with certain types of fish or aquatic creatures

Awesome pump for aquarium sumps

I had one of these on a 90g aquarium and just bought another for a 75g they work great never had any issues with the old. i got rid of the 90g tank and now use the pump in my aquarium water storage tank to pump water to my aquariums.

Pros
  • the product is good, the only thing is, the water regulator is not control it like the manufacture says.
Cons
  • The pump may need frequent cleaning to maintain proper function
