It REALLY pays to plan ahead and make things easy to work on.
I didn't hardly even get my hands wet.

Happy ponding.

Yes! It does pay to plan ahead. and yes the longest part is driving to
the "Big Orange or Blue Store". But the hardest part of planning ahead
is (in my case) tying up Mega $100's in spare pumps sitting on the
shelf. Waiting for one to go bad.

I found a guy on eBay (TX). He normally ships only on a Friday. But,
when I needed a pump in a semi-hurry, I contacted him and he was
gracious enough to ship them out that day (Monday) I bought them.
And had them in 3 days.


Qty Pump Size HD or L's ebay
2 1600 GPH $245.00 @ $60.00 @
4 330 GPH $45.00 @ $19.50 @
2 1250 GPH $190.00 @ $50.00 @
_________________________________________________
7 on the shelf $685.00 $205.00 Total



At a substantial savings over HD or L. I had an extra $485.00 to spend
elsewhere. Plus the peace of mind that my Pond Pigs won't get stressed
over the loss of a pump for more than a few hours.
