Our observations
|
|
Suitable for: Water circulation, water features, as a filter pump |
What we liked: Very low power use. The Vortex style impeller is well
designed and is ideal for dirty water such as filter pumps.
Two year warranty on impeller. The design is based on the German Messner pumps,
an although made in China we have had only one small problem that was quickly
fixed under warranty. |
|
Less than ideal:
Nothing we can find for the price poind |
