This pump came yesterday and so far it is working great. It is powerful, but not too powerful for my small 90 gallon pond.I cleaned out my pond with a bucket to get rid of most of the winter slime and algae but the water was still bad. I have tried less expensive pumps in the past, but you get what you pay for. It is too early to tell how well this works, but it already looked better this morning.One word of caution. If you have a smaller pond you will want to get a spitter or waterfall feature and use the diverter. Even a tube that just pumps some extra water from the fountain would be nice because the flow is kind of strong and some water might leave the pond. With the diverter, it is easier to control the flow. With a big pond, this isn't a problem.Another good feature is that this has a huge base. At first I was worried it was too big but it fit fine along with the two large water lillies I have at the bottom. The big base will make this tip proof. I always had trouble with the smaller pumps because I had to set them on bricks or stones to get them out of the water and they would often tip. This is not a problem at all with this unit.It arrived very fast... much faster than I expected even.The only issue is the manual that came with it was very vague. As I am typing this I'm not 100% sure the UV feature even works. I plugged it in and am hoping. A better manual would have put it as a 5 star rating. The website had the same info. Just not very good. If anything changes here…
