  • It works fine for my fountain but completely maxed out.
Style: 250 GPH
It is used for my outdoor fountain and when it’s turned on high it works fine. I took out the regulator and filter and it is just adequate for the job.

  • Still working after a couple years!
Style: 250 GPH
I’ve had this pump in a small half whisky barrel pond on my patio and after two or three years it’s still working great! For better or worse I just left it in the pond unplugged over the winter and come springtime it still starts right up again. My pond has gotten pretty gross at times and filled with leaves and bird seed but when the fountain level starts dropping it’s easy to rinse off the filter and put it back. ... show more

  • Good value.
Style: 250 GPH
I've been using this pump for about a year now and use it to transfer waste aquarium water. I wish the pump had a slightly better GPH rating for its size. But it is not the fault of the pump as it is clearly stated. Simple to disassemble and clean. I like to place in a bucket with some water and distilled white vinegar and just let it run in a 5 gallon bucket. I do wish that the GPH adjustment knob had a broader range. Can confirm that this pump has run dry protection for at least a minute. And I do like that they give you attachments. All in all for the money I think it's a decent value and a decent pump. Do not expect this thing to pump very high though. ... show more

  • Sounds like a lawn mower
Style: 250 GPH
These are not built as well as they were 20 years ago. They used to last a couple years. Now you're lucky if they last more than a month. They start off pretty quiet. After a week or 2 they sound like a lawn mower. After 4-6 weeks the motor burns out. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find another pump with the same size diameter as the female input to fit my turbo klone aero cloner. So I have to keep buying these. It's a vicious cycle. ... show more

  • Good product
Style: 250 GPH
Using the 250 pump for my 5gallon DWC reservoir. Works perfectly for my DIY water chiller. Ran 50ft of 1/2 tubing in a cooler & filled it with frozen water bottles, I change once a day. Keeps my water under 65° Been running this pump 24/7 for two weeks now, no problems so far, very happy with my purchase. *UPDATE: After about a month the pump is very loud. Still a good product for the price. I don't have mine submerged & I clean it every other week when I do my water change. ... show more

  • Pumps but filter far from adequate
Style: 250 GPH
Have read many of the other reviews and one thing has struck me: the filter. I am an absolute novice at this, but the pump was very easy to install in a small outdoor pond. Hooked up to a spouting fish ornament. After a couple of weeks, noticed how the spouting water got more like a trickle and checked the filter. Already when installing, I realized how small the filter was and decided to "drape" the pump in a nylon sock. A smart idea, because dirt and debris had gathered in the sock while the filter was clean and did not have to be removed, which can be a little cumbersome. The sock could easily be cleaned. However, the spouting is going down to a trickle again and I am afraid the filter is way too small for this otherwise smart, little pump, which is nice and quiet and very easy to install. Now, another week later, the pump is down to a trickle. Would not recommend for outdoor use. ... show more

  • Cheap, long lasting, and works
Style: 250 GPH
Purchased in 2018, this has been in my outdoor pond for 5 years. Only this year, five years later, has it began to slow down and make a rattling noise. It's not moving as much water as it used to. I use this for a reverse flow (up flow) biofilter with appx 24" head pumping through 15 layers of green scrub pads in a ceramic flower pot (an EXCELLENT way to hide a DIY filter, BTW) Highly recommended for a CHEAP low head / low pressure / high flow pump ... show more
