Would be great if they actually sent you the parts that fit together to make it work. So right now I basically have a piece of junk. Don’t recommend this at all.

Could not even get it to fit together. Don’t buy it is too small to use in a pond.

I've had this one year. Upon initial use in my 36 gallon aquarium, I found it to be really loud. And the suction cups on the bottom are not attached to the unit, they pluck right off, so upon first use, whilst trying to shift it around I "lost" the suction cups. Had to move all the gravel, only found two.... Anyway they are needed to provide stability and vibration control, so this was really not a good design. Bigger more robust suction cups please. But this little pump sufficed my needs. Goldfish are dirty fish and the accumulation of grunge needed some lift, suctioning bad gases off and up through the top moving surface water. Was recommended by a pro Goldfish keeper and this really helped. The pre-filter also creates good bio-filtration. But after a year, I find I need to replace because it has lost it's power. Have cleaned it a couple times lately but to no avail. Def good while it lasted. Next purchase I will opt for a larger one. I see one here that says it's 50% better on performance and more quiet, so I'll try it.

This is replacing the same pump, in service for 6 seasons.

I only recently received this pump so I can't yet comment on it's ultimate longevity. However my previous experience with so called magnetic drive water pumps have been very positive. With regular replacement of the impellor assembly (average 4-5 years) I've had pumps last 20-plus years. As a matter of fact, my main reason for this purchase is that the assemblies which I have been replacing are no longer made (and the pump's sale price doesn't hurt either). This pump is currently being used to perform water changes on my 3500+ gallon koi pond. And I have to say, the pump moves a lot more water than expected. My only criticism is with the supplied fountain heads (though I'll probably never use them) which are slip-on, and the stand-pipe is threaded I'm not entirely sure that the heads won't just blow off the pipe due to the pressure. Perhaps this is a manufacturer oversight? Notwithstanding, I'll reserve final judgement and rate the pump 5 of 5 stars and update if necessary.

I searched for a low energy high output outdoor pump for a small water 2 teir rock fountain. This pump is perfect. Low wattage, perfect water flow rate. Especially like the foam prefilter to catch gunk birds leave in the water. Highly recommend.

Great pump does more then I need it to . My pond 3 feet deep and waterfall is 2" high . It pumps more the enough water to run both waterfall and fountain at the same time. Come with every thing you need . Easy setup I just plug it in to my old hose going to water fall and adjust the fountain to where I wanted it and that's it.

I have four of these 3000 pumps from Quite One Pumps and one of the things I like most is that they use very little electricity.
