what pump you got
how long you using that pump
how many gallons per hour

I have 3 Danner supreme magdrives, a 750, 1200 and 3600 GPH.

The 750 has run non-stop since 1997 as I use it over the winter to keep pond
clear of ice. The 1200 has been running since 1997 to 2000 24/7/365 and every
summer since 2000 to present. The 3600 was purchased last year August ran til
Oct and from May on this year. I have not seen any change in my electric bill
when I bring the pond up in the spring with all 3 running.
