EasyPro EP1050 Submersible Mag Drive Pump For Ponds, Waterfalls, Streams, and Water Features. | Reliable | Quiet & Energy Efficient | 1050 GPH

Too small, I need little bigger.

Good quality pump. I bought this pump for a water feature in my back yard. The water feature consists of a five foot tall contemporary fountain statue design. Water runs over the top of the fountain and into a hidden basin. Total pumping height is almost six and one half feet. I studied pump charts extensively and this one was rated with a head height of twelve feet maximum. At 600 GPH this one seemed to be a good fit. The pump barely pushed enough water out the top for my liking. As a result I purchased the EP 1350 model which did the job very well. My only advice is to go big and use a valve after the pump to turn water flow down if necessary. Luckily, I have a smaller fountain where the EP 600 should work well. I gave this pump four stars instead of five because of the cheaply made accessories that come with it, including the hose barb adapters which are made of cheap plastic. The pump fell over when I was positioning it in the basin and the barb adapter broke completely off the top of the pump. I solved the problem with PVC hose barb fittings.

This is a replacement for a 2-season old EasyPro EP200 pump. Unfortunately, they only seem to last a few seasons. They new one has been running for about 3 days now (11 hrs/day) and is working fine. Unfortunately, the pump arrived with a broken mounting plate. Luckily, I took the plate off the old pump (before I tossed it last year) and put it on the new one. This plate contains 4 suction cups that allow the pump to attached to any flat surface. Not necessary for pumping, but handy for getting and holding the pump in position. The performance of these pumps is great, the durability not so good. I assume that the coils are opening up for some reason because the pump mechanism always looks great. At least I'm accumulating spare parts if an impeller/magnet/shaft or filter housing should fail.

We have an in-ground pond with a few gold fish in it to keep down algae, etc. This pump has worked flawlessly even after the deer have knocked it over and the raccoons have tore it up trying to get to the fish. It doesn't create as large of a bell as other pumps however on windy days, which are frequent, less water get blown out of the pond via the bell and that's fine with me.

Quiet and functioned well ---- for only 5 months! - It was working fine, never "on" unless it was submersed, water in the fountain cleaned regularly, filter kept clean, no power surges -- but it just stopped working:( Now for the kicker: it says it has a 3 year warranty, but try to get that honored. Nope. It is made by Easy Pro Pond Products in Grant, MI. But, another "but," their website is really for distributors only. I bought it from Amazon, but they do not have any links for returns under warranty nor does the manufacturer. So it really doesn't have a functioning warranty at all.So this product is really a buyer beware. Maybe mine was defective and others are great. This was the shortest lived pond pump I have ever owned.

I guess its times to give a review. I bought this pump close to a year ago. It has ran 24/7 ever since, and pumps well. The only complaint I would have it does not have much of filter, so sediment and other junk overtime reduces the water volume so about every 6 weeks I have to manually clean, no big deal, but yuck.

Pump is rated at 13.5ft of lift but wouldn't pump even 8ft. Bought it to pump 10ft out of pond to garden. Pumps a lot of water at 7ft of lift and easily runs all day on my solar/inverter system,just not to my garden & trees.

Had been happy with the purchase, but it quit working after only 15 months. Expected it to last longer for the cost.

As advertised. Bought this on for backup. The one in the pond has pumped continuously for 2 years without any problems.
