Title: The Game-Changer for Pool and Hot Tub Owners: A Review of the Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Submersible Pond PumpReview:When I stumbled upon this heavy-duty stainless steel submersible pond pump, I was initially intrigued by its intended use for creating water features. However, my intentions veered off the beaten path. Faced with the quarterly task of draining my 550-gallon hot tub, a process that tediously dragged on for hours, I sought a more efficient solution. Enter this powerhouse of a pond pump, capable of moving water at what seems to be a comical speed, exceeding 7,000 gallons per hr according to its specifications. The result? My hot tub was emptied in mere moments, transforming a once-dreaded chore into a task so swift it almost beckoned disbelief.The concern for potential damage from hot tub chemicals to the pump's components briefly crossed my mind, but the sheer performance and efficiency of this pump overshadowed any such worries. Besides, a quick flush with fresh water post-drainage has become a simple, routine maintenance step for me.What truly sets this product apart, beyond its exceptional capability, is the quality of both the pump and the customer service provided by the company. Upon realizing a minor component was missing from my purchase, I reached out to their tech support, fully expecting the hassle of a purchase process. To my delight and surprise, they shipped the missing piece to me promptly and without charge. Such a level of service is rare and speaks volumes about the company's commitment to their customers.The pump's robust stainless steel construction promises durability, and its performance has been nothing short of remarkable in my non-traditional use scenario. Whether you're considering it for its designed purpose of beautifying your garden with water features or seeking an unconventional yet highly effective solution for draining pools or hot tubs, this pump is worthy of consideration.In conclusion, if efficiency, durability, and top-notch customer service rank high on your list of priorities for a submersible pump, look no further. This heavy-duty stainless steel pond pump not only meets but exceeds expectations in both traditional and inventive applications. I strongly recommend giving it a try; you will not be disappointed.

For a large pond that needs filtration 24/7. Bought it when my previous pump died. Installed it, plugged it in and it has run continuously since.

I installed this pump one week ago and so far it’s working perfectly. I connected it to the ‘HALF OFF PONDS Variable Speed Control for Pond Pumps’ to vary the speed. My only complaint is the way the pump connects to the 2” pipe. On my previous HALF OFF PONDS Pump, there were two bolts that could be removed that would allow the connector to be screwed onto the 2” pipe and then connected to the pump with the two bolts. The pump designed has changed and now there are two screws that attach to loose nuts that are inside the pump. I ended up removing the two bottom sections to get to the loose nuts and then glued them to the undercarriage. They only had to hold long enough to get the screws started. Other than that, the installation went well and the pump works well.

Used it to replace a failed pond pump. Hate that these pumps do not incorporate a low water protection

Good price pumps a fair amount of water let’s see how long it last.

Pump got here overnight. It replaced my Triton 6000 with no change in performance. It is supplying water to a 50 ft cascading water fall stream in my back yard. 24/7 run time. Will let you know about longevity later.

I bought a Puls 4200 Aug 2018. Ran it 1 Month to end of season. I removed it from my pond cleaned it up and stored it for the winter. Installed and running again middle of May 2019. I Have it on a switch, So it only runs arond 20 to 50 percent of the time. It ran until July then seized up. (I did not seek warranty on this pump). Swallowed the loss and ordered a upgraded pump. Piranah 4200. After removing the 4200 I disected it to see if impeller was impinged. It was not. The motor which is sealed and unserviceable was seized up tight. Tossed it in the trash and enjoyed my piranah for about 1 hour then it seized up. Pulled and inpected. Yep Motor seized tight. Returned it to Amazon. That is where thing get interesting . They claimed, and I beleive them, that it was actually a Pulse 4200. Please note that I paid about $100 more for a Piranha. After battling back and forth through e-mail, because they won't give you a phone number. I got about 1/2 my money back. During this time I ordered and paid for yet another Pulse 4200 I had to have a pump for my fish. During the process I pulled this pump again to check the model of this one. Guess what it is actually a Cheaper model (Pulse 3000) double checked order and yes I paid for a 4200. Amazon thinks I am nuts. Well mayby I am. But I will get my next pond pump elsewhere.

Great pump for the price! Made a huge difference in the flow of my ponds waterfall! Compact enough to fit in my skimmer.

late getting here but coming from state side so that was no surprise because of Canada customs . I was expecting more flow but will do the job sufficiently .
