This pump is amazing! I have a number of fountains around my yard and am always looking for reliable pumps. I don't think I need to search anymore. This pump can more than accommodate my water features. The pump can really move some water! I have bought pumps for 3 times the cost which didn't do as well. It has the oomph to work on a variety of cascading water features. This pump also comes with a number of attachments to work with any number of fountains or heads. I was amazed at how many attachments were included. Keep stocking this, Amazon! I ordered 2 of them this time and I am sure I'll be back, now that I know that this baby delivers! UPDATE: An older pump on another fountain gave out so I hooked up my extra one of these. This fountain requires the water be pumped up almost three feet, to spill over the four corners of the urn. Of course, my little EcoPlus comes with a variety of attachments so hooking it up was a breeze. Not only does it do the job for this fountain, but it far surpasses the job done by an almost $70 pump! So, what did I do? I got on Amazon and ordered another one of these incredible pumps!

I bought this pump in May, 2016. It has worked steadily every spring - fall season since. I have it hooked up to a 30 inch tall "vase" where it pumps the water from the tub below up through the top of the vase. If the water flow slows down because of a blockage, I just unplug it long enough for the water to backwash through the pump and then I plug it in again. Sometimes, depending on how stubborn the build up is, I have to unplug it a second time. That usually allows it to start and work really well again. I do take it apart and clean it out each spring before running it. I highly recommend this energizer bunny of a pump.

After much research at big box retailers and here on Amazon, I decided to purchase this pump for my outdoor fountain, about two weeks ago. As compared to the pump this one is replacing, it seems a bit less powerful, however, I've reconfigured my fountain a bit and the plastic tubing I use recedes further back from the opening of the wine bottle being used as the "spout" for my fountain. Therefore, the water doesn't propel directly out; it trickles a bit more, which is actually a bit nicer sounding that when it launches out of the bottle. I had to replace this pump after a week, because it did lose power over the course of its first few days, then ultimately stopped working, however the seller was awesome and sent me a replacement in just a couple of days. The second one works just as well as the fist one did, initially, and is still working well today. The pump sits at the bottom of a 1/2 wine barrel (about 30 gallons of water) and it pumps the water out of copper tubing about a foot and up a second 1/2 wine barrel, where the tubing comes out of wine bottle. So, all in all, it's lift is about 2 feet. It's not a fountain spray because it's coming out of a bottle, but it seems to be steady. I did hook this up with a diverter, so I could have both the wine bottle and fountain spray and it did just fine. I'm in a very windy location and I don't think I'll keep this setup. I'll stay with the bottle. All in all, I'm pleased. I'll update later, as time goes on, with it's reliability over a longer period of time. I do recommend the pump. It's a great price and the exchange from the seller was awesome!

I got this 8 months ago and has been running non-stop for 7 months and it is still going strong. I modified it and fitted a sponge filter. I squeeze the sponge every couple weeks and have cleaned the pump itself once. If you see the waterflow diminishing, it may be getting clogged. Just remove the removable parts, hose it down and that's it. This is a great pump!

Great compact pump. Works well to drive a small fountain next to my pond, with a strong stream. You would need a larger capacity to do a waterfall feature. I got this because of the review which praised its durability, a quality notably lacking in the reviews for the pumps sold in the local Big Box home improvement centers. Also a much better price. This replaces a large metal oil-filled sealed pump which still works but is a big bulky moose. This is much easier to place in my relatively small pond. There is a nice variety of fittings that screw into the 1/2" female connector on top of the pump,but note that the fittings very tenaciously hold on to the tubing, so be sure you have the placement correct as it can be difficult to adjust later on.

Well I bought this pump in November of 2015 and just took it out the box feb 2016 and I noticed that it didnt work properly. Amazon's return date was about a month over due so I contacted sunlight supply and they took care of me. They overnighted me a brand new replacement pump with no fuzz once I explained what was wrong. Good pump that never skips a beat, good customer care, overnight shipping when I didnt even ask for it! I coulda waited a week for it to come and be happy. Most companies wont even stand behind their products warranty. Sounds like I'm making this all up but I am a amazon customer and I do have the proof in emails if anyone wants it lol. But they stand behind their warranty unlike many spotty companies so if your gonna buy a pump I would recomend a eco pump. All pumps imo only go out within the first month or two and the ones that make it past the first two months will last for years with no problems even when ran 24/7. So if you have a company that will actually replace it within a year makes it worth every penny. My two cents lol.

This is a very weak pump that's poorly designed and manufactured. The construction is horrible. That vented area you see is held on by these inexcusably small plastic "nubs". The first time I picked up the pump out of the original box the vent popped off and the pump hit the floor. VERY FIRST TIME. I put it back on then gently pulled and popped off. When I went to put it in my reservoir, it popped off while I was sitting it in the water. That says it all. It's a poorly constructed product. Period. This will be the last EcoPlus brand product I buy. Edit: Tried using it and boy am I disappointed. It couldn't pump nutrient solution 6 feet away and 6 feet back and because of that, my water temperature got too high. I had to manually lower it. This means the pump failed in every possible way, short of at least "turning on" when plugged in. When I checked in my reservoir, the front cap and filter had fallen off. It hasn't been touched and there is no movement inside the reservoir other than air stones making bubbles on both ends while the pump stays in the middle. TL-DR: This is absolute crap. It's an underpowered, poorly developed pump made from lowest-bidder parts and aimed at making as much money as possible off YOU, the consumer.

La peor compra de mi vida, no solo ha tardado en llegar, como no ha cumplido con mis espectativas. No tiene potencia suficiente para llevar agua en una altura de 80 cm. Y si entra la mínima burbuja de aire, lo quema de seguida. Ya no funciona como al principio. Pasan los minutos, se calienta y muere.

Muy buen producto, de hecho de mayor potencian de la que esperaba

I've learned through experience that when it comes to pumps, you really do get what you pay for. This pump, while $7–$10 more expensive than other 400 GPH models, is worth every penny. It offers both inline options and excellent attachments, all with a noticeable level of quality. Connecting it is simple, and it works flawlessly. That said, the pump is significantly larger than comparable options (like the Vivosun 400). If space in your reservoir is at a premium, keep this in mind—it does take up a lot of room. Despite its size, I don’t see myself switching to any other pump anytime soon. I've already purchased two and couldn’t be happier with their performance.

Excelente bomba, silenciosa y con gran capacidad de movimiento. Aunque las gomas que centran las asmas con de pésima calidad. Aún así la bomba es excelente.

The reason i'm giving five stars is because of the small filter in front of the impeller which catches dirt before the damage or clog your impeller. It's also easy to clean without removing the pump from the aquarium, i just remove the front part while leaving the pump in the aquarium, i rinse the filter and that is it. It is quieter than my previous pump but still has a small humming noise which i hear at night. I strongly recommend this because of the filter which keeps your impeller clean and your pump will last longer.
