Beckett Corp 210 gph pond pump Jun 13, 2000
By D. Zemek
"debzy"
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.

 Beckett G210 (210 gph) pond pump Jun 04, 2006
By Don Jolly
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.

 Pumps Continue to Fail Feb 26, 2010
By JD
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.

keep in milk crate Jul 22, 2000
By Scudlite
The intake tends to clog with this pump. When you have it in your pond, keep it in a milk crate with wire mesh around it to allow water to pass but not weeds, bugs, and other small objects that can severly hinder its operation

are your fish complaining? Nov 21, 2010
By Chris Beyer
Very fast delivery, and huge savings over buying this same pump at a big box store or a water garden center. Highly reccommend this seller! My old pump (5 years) finally melted down and quit, leaving my pond fish quite unhappy in the still, unfiltered water. Quiet complaints quickly turned into threatening demands and talk of unionization. Acting quickly, I went to a store and was sent reeling by the prospect of paying $60.00 to $80.00 to keep about $12.00 worth of goldfish happy.
"Try Amazon", someone said. Sure enough, staring back at me from a somewhat dusty and fingerprinted computer screen was the very pump i sought... and at a fraction of the retail price! "Eureka!", I exclaimed, as I pulled my credit card out of its slot in my wallet and sent it flinging past the screen and to the floor behind the desk... Sorry, i digress.
Two (business) days later, the pump arrived. This was several days sooner than promoised!! I cleaned the filter, installed the new pump and all was once again right in the little fish pond that I often wonder why I ever bothered with in the first place. But I'm not wondering now. The pond is crystal clear, and the goldfish are so happy that they... Well, this is a family web site after all... Let's just say that in the past few days I have seen and heard the pitter-patter of little fins swimming around in the pond! Another generation of little goldfish have arrived! Now if i could just get the big ones to stop eating the newborns, I'd have my own little Utopia in my back yard.
