Aussie's observations about
Low volt Pondmate pumps
|
|
Suitable for: Pond
circulation, waterfalls, fountains streams, filters (in-pond or external) |
What was liked:
The 2 year warranty on both the pump and impeller.
The quality and features are excellent for the price point,
very good value for money.
The flow adjustment knob is easy to use and on the intake (suction side) of the
pump as it should be. Flow adjustment dial on all models
Best of all the reliability for the price has been excellent.
This pump sits at the very top end of pumps made in China. |
|
Less than ideal: Nothing for the price point |
