[Worldwide Koi Club] Pond Pump died. Suggestions for new one?
Dear Colleen,
I have two water pumps by Beckett that I’ve purchased from The Home Depot approximately ten years ago, and are current circulating my 1500 gal. pond. I believe I bought them for around $99.99 each with 1250 gph at 1 foot above water level. They have larger and strongly pumps for a little more money. I have one pump running 24 hrs. continuous since I bought it. The other one I use as a backup and to clean the bottom of the pond. One time I had that pump sitting next to the pond for over three years un-used. Both still works until this day. I hope this is useful information.
Regards,
D. Nguyen
