Wimpy Inefficient Pump I have a bamboo fountain that needs 2 feet of lift and a fairly good stream of water. To see which one would work better, I bought these pumps at the same time: Hydrofarm AAPW160 (the pump on this page),, and. When this Hydrofarm AAPW160 pump arrived, the pump did not look anything like the pump you see pictured above… it appears much CHEAPER plus I really don’t like to be shown one thing and sold another. But that is not the worst of it. After hooking it up to the fountain, it worked well enough. I checked the wattage with a I recently bought and the wattage checked out to be 9.5 watts just as the specs stated. However… Next I hooked up the , supposedly a smaller pump… but low and behold, this PonicsPump put out more water with 37% less electricity!!! Again, I checked the wattage with my “Kill A Watt” meter and it checked out to be 6 watts just as they stated. As an added plus, the PonicsPump PP120 cost less than the Hydrofarm AAPW160. Needless to say, I kept this one and returned all the others; and ordered 3 more PonicsPump PP120s. Oh, forgot the mention, the would not even produce a trickle at 2′ and the pumped about 60% less than the Hydrofarm AAPW160 … but the “Kill A Watt” meter showed an amazing high 26.5 Watts. Surely would recommend avoiding the extremely inefficient EcoPlus pumps.
Terrible! My 130 gph pump bit the dust so I decide on this one. What a let down. This thing doesn’t pump nearly as well as my prior 130 gph pump. I’ll be rebuying the first one (TotalPond MD11130). Do not buy this pump if you need the advertised pumping capabilities.
Excellent Pump Stupid me keeps buying Beckett pumps at Home Depot at exorbitant prices only to see them fail in the first year of operation constantly. This time I went to the internet and bought this pump at half the price of a Beckett and it is working exceptionally well for me. I am using it in a 7′ wishing well, but it only pumps approximately 18″ in height. I like this pump so much I am ordering a second one just to keep as a spare. You folks relying on pumps from Home Depot and Lowes………good luck, you’ll need it.
