allpondsolutionsPond Pump 3000 L/H, Fully Submersible - Garden Fish Waterfall Pump 2-4mm Solids Handling.

Bought this for my Blagdon 480-litre pond, and wow, what a difference! The pump works like a charm and keeps the pond crystal clear. But, pro tip: Don’t skimp on the hose size! Max out that diameter to keep the flow smooth and avoid overworking the pump. Trust me, your fish will thank you (and so will your pump!). Worth every penny, just mind the hose – it’s a whole vibe! 🌊🐟

Bought this pump when.my old fish pond pump failed. This was a larger, more powerful pump so I was a little apprehensive. I didnt need to be as its fab, the fish love it and so do i

Working fine thanks 😊

Good water pump - sturdy build, good casing which prevents major blockages and the pump has sufficient weight/stability that minimal anchoring is needed.I first purchased one of these almost 12 months ago to power sealed water filter which outputs to a small waterfall and I am very happy with the outcome - the pump has continued to operate despite the weather extremes encountered over the last 12 months. Being a newer pump the electricity usage is also lower than the older pumps it has replaced.I now use three of these - one as described above and two others to improve water circulation in two separate ponds.The photos shows the water circulation from the pump through the filter and the output from the filter through the waterfall, height is roughly half a meter above the pump.So far so good, and I would recommend.

Very few negatives on this pump and they are minor, okay it doesn't come with any attachments like fountain heads (but can be bought separately for about £8) and in comparison to the competition it's cheap. Now been running for a couple of months at about 12hrs/day (on a timer), so can't comment on long term reliability.I'd been a bit ambitious and bought a 6,000 litre/hr pump (very good pump) but was far too big for my size of pond (learning from experience here). Think my pond is around 3,000-4,000 litres and bought this as a replacement.Didn't bother with the rubber feet, cut a paving slab to size, drilled it and then attached the pump using black plastic cable ties. Then put pump in about 3 feet of water. Using it to drive a waterfall and a fountain (as a bypass in case the filter, Jebao, in the line to the waterfall clogs up badly). Slight negative, the 'fountain head' kit didn't come with a universal joint, so if you want your fountain vertical then the pump has to be level - not the fault of the pump!Bigger negative, after about a month the filter on the pump (that's the grey plastic bit in the photos) clogged up with weed. Only solution, get in pond sans trousers (and it's cold and it's quite deep) to lift and clean pump. But not a long term problem. Remove the grey plastic filter (or the black plastic round bit on the end is a push out) and behind you will find the inlet to the pump is threaded. Get an adaptor from the 'fountain kit' attach 1" flexible plastic pipe and screw to the thread on the pump inlet. At the other end buy two small pond plant pots (black plastic with perforations - round or square) and attach open end to open end with black cable ties to form a closed basket, cut a round hole in the base of one plant pot and stick pipe through and you now have a filter on the inlet (I attached the pipe to the basket also with black cable ties). You can now have the pump in one place and the inlet with a filter on it (reachable without having to climb in the pond) in another. For this reason alone this pump is worth 5 stars (my other bigger pump at nearly 3x the price didn't have this feature).Final point, my plant pot filter is buoyant so I tied a large pebble (another black plastic cable tie) around the inlet pipe close to the filter to weight it down. Net result is that the filter sits vertically at the side of the pond, unobtrusive and easy to get at.From memory, delivery was quick as well.

Amazing pump. Constant water flow 24/7 for 7 years now and I have just now purchased a new impeller as the flow rate was dropping. (Cost me £19.99 and arrived within 48 hours) When I first used the pump it went into a very dirty sludgy pond and even then only needed cleaning about once a month. Once the pond was clean I only needed to clean the pump a couple times a year. The pump is very easy to clean. Will definitely stick with All Pond Solutions for any future hardware needed for my water garden.

Next day delivery was brilliant as our pump stopped working

Received this item on time.Its a great pump with good water flow and a good price
