Mini-Sump Pump good for me

This operates like a mini sump pump. When the water rises, the pump comes on. When the water level goes down to a low level, the pump shuts off. The amount of flow is settable to reasonable levels as specified on the box. In a fountain you just attach the pump to a hose and direct it where you want it or use the attachment to attach smaller tube feeds.I put it in the back yard bird bath. and it works there. The birds like it too. They are fun to watch though when the water level is low, because

Pros
  • Pump solved leak problem for my KOI ponds
Cons
  • pump for a backyard fountain purchased January 27, 2020 and has already seized up and stopped working.

Great while it lasted

The pump has a 2 year guarantee. It was shipped to me o June 20, 2020 and died August 18, 2022. 24+ months so it is out of warranty by less than a month.

Pros
  • ECONOMICAL TO RUN: This Fountain Pump has an economical and compact motor making it a great choice for your fountains and water features.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to move or transport

2nd One Failed after 6 Months

Failed after 1 year. Kindly replaced by Pennington. 2nd one failed after 6 months. I imagine they would replace this one too; but this pump is not r. dependable for use in my 6ft tiered fountain.Looking for a different brand now.

Pros
  • The pump is easy to install and operate, so even novice gardeners or hobbyists can enjoy the benefits of a fully-functioning garden fountain or water feature
Cons
  • May have a short life span or limited warranty

No guarantee in my review

Under the description says 2 year guarantee for added peace of mind. My pump lasted less than a year the motor is not locked up it is just not giving the motor power, probably the safety feature when water gets low.

Pros
  • Have had one for over a year with no complaints. Bought a 2nd one to replace if needed.
Cons
  • ok

Great medium strength pump

As time permits I am working on a several tier fountain made with cast concrete leaves. This pump will be strong enough to bring the water up through about two feet of pipe from where the water will cascade down from leaf to leaf until it reaches the bottom reservoir where the cycle starts all over again.The small pumps did not have enough "ummpphh" to get the water up, but this adjustable pump is perfect for the job. I just hope that I will get to finish the fountain before summer is…

Pros
  • RUN FOUNTAINS WATER FEATURES: Suitable for running stunning fountains and water features either indoors or outdoors and pumping water up to a height of 5’6".
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain fountain designs

So far so good for my opinion

This was bigger then I expected it to me, and guess that means my water feature needs to be expanded! I haven't built it yet due to surgery but was able to test this out in a giant bucket to see how and if it would work out and it does perfectly. I had to get a few attachments obviously and hoses to hook up the water but this little unit has quite a bit of power. It has an auto shut off so I don't have to worry about it running when the water gets to low and it is not too loud which is nice. I…

Pros
  • Works as it is described.
Cons
  • Not powerful enough to pump much water. Very disappointed

I have had this product for a year now and am very happy with my purchase. Low maintenance. Clear instructions on how to setup and do maintenance. Does not clog easily. Seems to work better than the pumps I have purchased at "big-box" stores.Update March 14, 2021: Pump still going strong. It has run 24/7 since I purchased it in September 2017. I clean it once a year as recommended.Update May 2021: It finally died shortly after a violent thunderstorm. Bought another one.

Pros
  • Working good...thanks
Cons
  • Requires consistent water supply

Great Fountain Pump With Cool Light

This kind of pump used to be quite expensive. The price is reasonable now, and this is one of the better ones.It's sturdy, well-built and has several very nice features. For example, it will shut itself off if the water level gets low. This prevents the motor from burning out. It also has a two-year warranty. Furthermore, it is a combination pump and filtration package (UV clarifier light keeps the water algae-free) so it will work with fish.There are several options about the water flow. For…

Pros
  • 5.6 x 3.4 x 3.6 inches; 2.73 Pounds
Cons
  • Requires professional installation

Not a good buy.: my feedback

This water pump quit working just after the 2 year warranty period. It was used only during summer months, and then cleaned and stored inside during the fall, winter and spring. The actual usage time was a total of about 10 months. I've had cheaper pumps last much longer. The auto shut off was a good selling point, but not good when it shut off completely with plenty of water to pump.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean

Pump stopped working

This pump is only 8 months in use and has quit. Unfortunately I threw out the packaging so I don't know how to use the 2 yr warranty. Please contact me

Pros
  • The Aquagarden pump is incredibly quiet, which makes it ideal for use in residential areas or other areas where noise pollution is a concern
Cons
  • May leak or spill water
