These last me about 9 months of duty time
By Joe Campbell
I'm on my third one of these pumps in five years. I start my waterfall up in late April and shut it down around Halloween. The pump over-winters in my heated laundry room. All three pumps have failed during their second summer. The third and current pump just went Tango Uniform this week (Mid June 2012). In other words, this means that I get about 9 months of duty time out of the pump before a failure that costs me one-third of the price of a new one.The failure is always the same, the bottom (PLASTIC!) shaft on the impeller shears off, which releases the high-RPM magnet to rattle around inside the windings. In two of my three failures, including the most recent one (three days ago), the impeller trashed the (PLASTIC!) upper bushing mount in the cover. It had *less* than nine months duty time.The company is virtually impossible to contact, and when you do manage to get someone (via email), they are dismissive, rude, and (duh!) unhelpful.My plan is fix this pump, then purchase a much less expensive 2000gph pump that has a three-year unconditional warranty.06/25/2012: This just in: Today I received the repair parts for the PM24 pump: $50 for the impeller (outrageous), $13 (outrageous) for the cover, and TWENTY DOLLARS in shipping costs from New York to Virginia (unconscionable).06/25/2012: Discovered new impeller was missing the lower bushing. Luckily the old one is serviceable.

mag pump
By Cambeul
these are simpy the best for fountains and waterfalls. make sure you get an extra impeller as it is the only thing that wears out (mine went after 12 years in brackish water) and is easy to replace. Make sure you plumb the pipe/fittings to be able to remove the side cover to replace the impeller.

By Ronald
Nice and Powerful pump. I changed the Prefilter that came with it to a square sponge prefilter to prevent the goldfish from being sucked to the inlet. Works like a charm. I made a homemade filter with a 5 gallon bucket and a lid. I drilled holes in the lid with a doorknob drill bit and made a hole big enough for the outlet tube to go in.(hose should be long enough to go to the bottom of the bucket) I stuffed the bucket with fiberfill pillow stuffing from walmart and used plastic window screen under the lid to keep the fiberfill in. You can put whatever you want inside,lava rock etc. Fast Economic filter that keeps the water crystal clear. I occasionally spray the screen if any algae starts to plug the openings with a hard stream of water and that keeps the openings clear without having to shut off the filter. The bucket can be placed at the waterfall feature. Very easy to make and very economical! Love the Pump!
