Beckett Corp 210 gph pond pump I am using this pump in a small pond with a small waterfall – it is a strong, hard-working pump and works just fine in this application. I wouldn’t recommend it for a big pond, but for the smaller one it works great. My “pond” is only 2 ft X 4 ft and I don’t have the pump turned all the way up to full force.
Pumps Continue to Fail Since about 1998 I’ve had a 325 GPH Beckett pump and about every 2-3 years like clockwork the pump fails and trips the GFI receptacle. I use the pump in a small 1/2 wine barrel pond with an old style well pump. The head height is less than 24″ and the pump only runs 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening. I’m pretty careful to keep the screen clean so as not to overheat the pump. My fourth pump failed yesterday. It has only been in operation since June of 2008. The good news is, it was a warranty replacement for the previous pump that failed in the exact same way. Teh bad news is they will not replace a warranty replacement. The pumps are “potted” so they are not servicable and must be replaced when they fail (throw aways). I would advise against purchasing Beckett pumps as the seem to keep failing the same way and at about the same time frame.
Beckett G210 (210 gph) pond pump I have used this pump in my 4′ diameter pond with fountain statue in the center. The inlet on my lotus flower statue is 3/8″. The outlet on the pump is 1/2″ so I have a reducer. I also have a flow restricter on the line so I can adjuct the flow which is acceptable. It will give a nice dispersed spray a foot+ in the air on my statue. It has worked fine since 1998 and just died after 8 years of near continuous running. I got it at Home Depot & they still sell it for about 50. I’m going to buy another identical one. I have it in the Beckett filter box model MFB235 with foam filter. My pond has fish and is under a tree so the filter box has kept the crud out of the pump. I’m not always good on regular filter cleaning and at times the flow has almost been starved to the pump. But with out the filter I would be cleaning the pump inlet screen all the time in my application.
