HALF OFF PONDS 12,500 GPH Submersible, Quiet, Energy Efficient Water Pump with 200 ft. Cord for Ponds, Water Gardens, Pondless Waterfalls and Skimmers, Horizontal or Vertical Install - AP-12500200

This pump has power. We were using 2-3 smaller pumps in our large pond to power the waterfall. (It's not very tall). This 1 pump replaced all of those. We thought we had a warranty issue, but turns out it wasn't. But the company's customer service was willing to help. They responded quite promptly & professionally.Extremely pleasant & thorough. They definitely know their stuff!!I HIGHLY recommend this pump & this company. I would totally order from them again. I'd give 10 stars instead of 5 if I could.

We are hoping this pump meets all that it's designed for. My husband will be installing it today in one of our ponds to help aerate the water for better oxygenation for the turtles & frogs that live in the pond:)

I ran this pump in my large water fountain 12 hours a day for 4 years and 2 months.I just purchased another for a dollar less. I took the old pump apart and discovered the motor still worked, however the impeller must have struck an object which gouged the impellers adjacent flat surface. I sanded the gouged surface smooth and now the pump is operational.

I’ve got 3 of these pumps, they work great draw less amps .Just a great value for the money.I’ve had no problems at all. I’ve got about 20,000 gallons per hour for my waterfall.Looks beautiful

Needed a new pump as my current one broke (rattling) and went without a pump for almost a week, but thank you Amazon for quick shipping!! This thing is very heavy with flimsy feeling plastic but I guess if you don't move it much it is ok ? I attached a nylon rope to it for accessibility. The pump has replaced a 500GPH pump and, being new to this, I tried to use the old hoses. YES, I could continue to use my 1" output hose. NO, I could not use my 1" input hose. This in fact caused the pump to get somewhat warm and I turned it off immediately. Ran it as-is till I could go to a pond store with bigger size flex tubes. During this time, the screen had fiberglass screen over it because I could still see some stuff getting through and I have 11 gold fish so it took no time for the screen to get dirty. I had to rinse daily.I ended up getting a 1.5" tube for input and attached it to my Matala prefilter easily. Everything seems to be running fine and water cleared up within a day. I tested my water earlier this week (after 3 weeks) with the API water treatment kit and everything was close to perfect (feint traces of NH4 and NO3) but I can't complain with 11 gold fish. Overall, fish are happy so I am happy. The warranty is decent and I bought an extended warranty for 4 more years (no deductible required) for $18 more. Realistically, that is a steal for me. The pump is running 24/7 in FL where it is in partial shade with a screen over the pond to minimize leaf fall as much as possible.Update: past a year and still going strong. I have not turned this thing off for more than 2 min to swap the Matala prefilters!! Working as day 1 . Will continue to update.Update 9/15/2019: This pump has officially died. I bought this in 02/2017. I was out of the country for 2.5 weeks and my friend was left to feed my fish but couldn't put 2 and 2 together and equate that low water line = trouble. Majority my fault but my Matala prefilter was more than half in the air so I'm convinced the motor burned out because he told me the pond had been low for several days ... Granted the claim there is a heat overload sensor but I don't think it works (or maybe it only works temporarily). Anyways, I just want to let you guys know I had this pump running pretty much 24/7/365 in FL except for major hurricanes where I had to cut the power from my breaker for safety. It had no issues but not sure if the Matala prefilter along with quarterly bacteria dump helped with the longevity? I did not touch this thing at all really.

This is my go to pump for all my pond, fountain and waterfalls. It is a very strong pump with enough power and water volume to handle any job. Speaking of handling things, the customer service at this supplier is second to none. I give them and the pump 5 STARS. They promptly replaced a pump that had quit pumping water before the Christmas get together I was planning. Great work girls and guys. Keep delivering the top notch products and support I will be a life long customer.Thank you,Steve Maddox

It’s been a good pump, I’ve had to clean the impeller from debris occasionally. After 4 years it’s starting to make a bit more noise but no troubles.

Great pump except for the debris filter, which can fall off pretty easy. I used a couple zip ties to keep in from being an artifact at the bottom of my pond.
