5.0 out of 5 stars Long Lasting Pump When Maintained, September 3, 2010

This review is from: Danner 02728 Pond Mag 1800GPH Pump (Lawn & Patio)

I've had these in various sizes, from a tiny fountain pump to the 1800 gph, all the same simple design. They have gotten rather pricey but you do get a rugged, reliable pump for your money. They work well, are surprisingly small (but heavy), and last a long time if you 1) always use a pre-filter of some kind, 2) keep the pre-filter from clogging, and 3) never forget to clean the impeller before storing the pump (see below). My only and very slight criticism of the Pondmaster 1800 is that the discharge is rather small for a pump of this flow rate.

If you shut down your pump for the winter make sure to disassemble and clean it: Remove the impeller housing, carefully pull the impeller out of the motor (it's held in the motor magnetically so you need to pull it out firmly) and clean everything carefully so there is no grit or pond crud on the impeller or inside the motor housing (I use a tooth brush). Neglecting to clean it can result in the pump binding up just long enough to snap the ceramic shaft when you try to start the pump after it has been in storage. Pump warranties don't cover the impeller--- currently ~$27 for the 1800.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit deceiving, August 16, 2011

This pump claims 1800 gph, but on the box at 0' it states 1500gph. Had they rated it 1500gph, I would have purchased the next size up. The other thing is, I had bought it to fit into my filter box, and with the screen basket attached it is a bit big. The pump is a quiet pump and I am happy with the pump itself. A shorter wider screen would be nice as well.

This pump has power. It's quiet and really moves water. The included inlet screen is nice. I thought I was going to have to buy one separately. Since it's a mag drive unit, it's more energy efficient than other pumps of similar capacity.
