This Multi -
purpose pump, jack of all trades but master of none. Will work well in for any
of the above mentioned uses. In each specific area we also have specialty pumps,

Aussies 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. Super quite.
Two year warranty on impeller. The design is based on the German Messner pumps,
and 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 pond |

pumped, the less the flow until the maximum pumping height is reached. It is
critical that this is understood, this height is where the water stops flowing. |
