Very pleased with the pump. I am using it for a water fall with 5 feet elevation and 9 feet length. It is perfect for the project and pumps plenty of water to make look very natural with the great bubbling sound I was trying to achieve. Because it is so powerful I had to be creative to not make the water spray all over the place at the top, a flower pot placed over the end of the tubing did the trick.

I installed this little pump to maintain a small amount of constant movement through my waterfall and 80 foot stream (total 7 foot rise through 1 1/2" pvc).
(A larger pump is turned on when we have visitors.)
Since it only uses 130 watts, I can run this little beauty 24/7 for only $8.76 per month.
So far, it has run for a month without a hiccup.

I bought this to replace another brand that continued to fail. That was a 1300gph pump, and this Beckett model appears to offer more power. I also like that the pump can be operated on the side (pictured) or vertical, since vertical works much better in our 3 stream waterfall. Great price...great pump!

I bought this same pump about 5 years ago and it ran well all those years. This spring, the muck did not get sufficiently cleaned out before the pump was turned on and it became clogged and burned out. I propped the new one up off the bottom and check it every once in awhile to make sure it is clear of debris. Works great!

I have been through three pumps in one year due to the bearings wearing out. The last pump lasted less than three months. I have a different brand pump that has lasted over six years in the same pond so that tells me that this pump is not built with quality parts. Never again will I purchase a Beckett product.

This pump was just what I needed for my outdoor pond/waterfall. It was so much stronger than the last one I was replacing.
I contacted the seller and they were excellant. Fast reply and was very good about resolving the problem. I would buy from them again. Good service, fast reply and an excellant product.
