Our pump went out after 7 years. Time to find a replacement. Our system
holds 3900 gal. The main pond 2900. The pump is submerged on the bottom
and pushes through a 1.5 inch line.

Recommendations? Operating cost and reliability are central in our
choice.

I've used 2-3 different Beckett pumps for various purposes. I've even
"accidently" run my 1000GPH Beckett dry a few times, and it has survived.
The Mag drives are very popular, but I wouldn't underestimate the
Beckett/Cheapo Depot pumps.
