Aussie's observations

Suitable for: Water features, also for pond circulation, waterfalls, fountains streams, some filters (but check with us first)
What was liked: The 3 year warranty on the pump. The quality and features are excellent for the price point, very good value for money. Simular design to a top European design. Up to 8mm solids handling.
Best of all the reliability for the price has been excellent.

Less than ideal: nothing that comes to mind

Based on running a pump 24/7 continuously for one year. The formula we use is $1.20 per watt per year. (Some states will be slightly less, while some will be up to 30% higher)

##Pondmate supply a range of hose connections (tails) with each pump, however, we have found that in many cases they are not the correct size for hose available in Australia. If you want a specific hose tail to be supplied with your pump please tell us and we will provide it..
