At first it was really loud but that was more my fault than the pump. I had it restricted and that restriction made the pump extremely loud. I figured out a way to open the pump up with out it blowing water out of the waterfall feature in my terrarium and now it is much quieter. Just a slight buzz noise

Used this pump to make a fountain to refill a birdbath. It quietly moves water up from a catch basin reservoir through tubing two feet vertically and then shoots it from the end of the tube another foot in the air into the birdbath.

Terrible quality..Cleaned after a week, started up fine and 5 minutes later it was dead. I have tried to re-rinse and impeller seems to spin just fine. It just doesn't work. I want to return, but so far have not been given that option.

This replaced my previous fountain pump that was always getting clogged (looks exactly like previous pump) and continues to pump. IF AN ADDITIONAL SCREEN (or something similar) could be used as a Pre-filter so leaves and dabree is less likely to clog filter. Would be a nice additive to this filter...I would buy it!

The pump was purchased to circulate water in an outdoor fountain. It's a fairly large fountain---4 tiers---this pump easily circulates the water. A good product and cost much less than I've paid at local hardwarestores for similar pumps.

I bought one of these 6 months ago and have been using it to replace a similar pump in our outdoor decorative water fountain. That pump has been working fine. I needed a second pump to remove water from my pool cover. After draining the cover, the pump sounded funny. When I tried to disassemble the pump for inspection, I found it very difficult. The rear cover popped off easily but the front cover did not. I had to use a box cutter to open the seam just enough to insert and twist a screwdriver blade. After removing the front cover, the internal cover was easy to remove by rotating the flanges. It turns out that there was nothing wrong. The pump just rattles when not pumping water.

We bought a fountain at Costco a few years ago. Nothing fancy, but it fits our backyard decor perfectly. When we went to set up the fountain this spring we discovered that the pump had failed. We went on Amazon and quickly discovered that there are literally hundreds of pumps available for purchase ... all of which bore some resemblance to the pump we needed to replace.We read reviews and placed our pump order ... and so began a story that is quite similar to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The first pump we bought was way too powerful. It had a flow rate of 880 gallons per hour. When we plugged it in the water was shooting 3' in the air. Not good. Figuring that we needed a less powerful pump, we bought a 80gph pump. This pump was not strong enough to push the water to the top of our fountain. Not good. Using experience as our guide, we figured we needed a pump somewhere between 150gph and 400gph. We saw this pump with its 220gph rating and decided to order it. So glad we did!This pump gives us the perfect "lift". The water bubbles about 6" above the fountain ... which is absolutely perfect. The pump is quiet ... in fact you cannot hear any pump noise. The pump rarely clogs. Once a month I fill the fountain with water and give the mesh intake screen a quick wipe. Maintenance is that simple.I have no idea how long the pump will last since this is our first year running it ... but at the price point it would not bother me to have to replace it. Sure beats the cost at the big box home stores.We are very happy with our purchase. Five stars.
