 Forget about it. Jul 25, 2011
By indian maiden
The pump that arrived was not as pictured, but that didn't matter to me as long as the GPH was correct. I used it in a very small fountain and it didn't pump water any faster than my old pump that was only 75 gph. After working for less than a day, it finally...ran...down...to.....a trickle. So I returned it.

Echo what Grit said! Aug 27, 2011
By Ed-stlouis
I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. Since I was replacing an old M130 that overheated due to low water, I thought I knew what I was getting.
I did read the specifications which said I would get a 15 FOOT CORD but instead I only got a 6 FOOT CORD.
I don't know how I will make this work.
I will admit after all the things I have ordered from Amazon, this is the first time they disappointed me.

 Beckett M130AUL 7091510 Fountain Pump Jan 12, 2011
By Scott Alexander
Beckett seems to build a much better fountain pump than the others that I've tried. We have an outdoor fountain that can be hard on pumps (the wide temperature changes in Texas and the debris accumulation). The previous Beckett pump lasted far longer (I'd guess at least 5 years) than any of the other brands that we've tried.
I ordered another brand, and it wouldn't work after I installed it, so I had to return it. Thankfully, Amazon has a "no hassle" return process, but I wish I hadn't disassembled the fountain, run the wiring, reassembled, leveled, and refilled with water -- only to discover it wouldn't work. Then I had to disassemble again. Cement fountain pieces are heavy and bulky, in case you wondered. I bought another similar pump (different brand) from Home Depot and tested it in a bucket of water first, and had to return that one since it would only hum and not pump.
Finally, I've got a pump that works and have learned to stick with Beckett. I've also learned to pre-test the pumps before installing. The only problem I've found with this pump is that Amazon advertises a 15 foot power cord (the same length as my previous Beckett cord), but only a 6 foot cord was provided. I'll have to attach and weatherproof an extension to reach the power outlet. If this pump lasts as long as the previous Beckett, we'll be very satisfied.

 Under powered Feb 26, 2012
By Sunny Jim
Purchased the 200 GPH model as a replacement pump for my fountain after reading the various reviews. Before choosing this model I had read the manufacturers specifications and originally ordered this 130 GPH model which seemed would be up to the job. I was informed by the supplier after a few days that they did not infact have that pump in stock so I ordered the larger model instead assuming it would work even better. Unfortunately, that is not the case. This pump bareley provides enough flow over a 3 1/2 foot high urn style fountain even though the specs say good for up to 4 feet - even at maximum flow setting and clean piping.
Would definitely suggest going to a much larger model - even twice the flow rate, and dial back if necessary to suit the need.

Two Times a Dud Feb 02, 2012
By Derek M. Bland
"dmb"
I ordered the Beckett 130gph auto off fountain pump. It arrived on time and as described. I placed it in the fountain, plugged it in, and....... nothing. I gave it a little shake, heard a faint grinding noise and that was it. I boxed it up and exchanged it for a second one of the same make. Amazon's return policy made it easy to exchange! I got the second pump in a matter of days. I again placed the pump in the fountain and this time was excited to see that it pumped. But, alas, my excitement was quickly dashed away when the pump stopped after a mere 3 seconds. But then, all of a sudden it started pumping after nothing for about 2 seconds. It repeated this pattern, 3 seconds on, 2 off, for bit before stopping completely. I am returning the second pump tomorrow and am currently looking for another brand of pump. My advice, stay away from Beckett's pumps.
