Default Advice needed for replacement pump

I agree with Joe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For some a pond does
not represent beauty but maintenance. and a mess. I don't think it would
decrease your property's value but * doubt you'd get more than 50% return
on your investment unless the person was a pond geek like you.

My head is spinning after looking at a dozen or so web sites that sell
pond pumps. I'm finding TONS of pumps for big ponds and massive
waterfalls, but almost nothing for the small preformed one my mother
has.

Its dimensions are approximately 5' long by 3' wide by 2' deep;
according to pond capacity calculators I used, this equals approximately
225 gallons. It has a waterfall that rises about 2' above the pond.

Can anyone recommend--and point me to--a dual-discharge pump for this
pond? Any recommendations for good online sources? I've never bough

pond supplies online so I'm not familiar with any of the companies, and
I'd like to buy from a company with a good reputation.

Hi, i was wondering if having a pond in your yard will increase the
houses worth?


Only maybe. Here in So Cal, there are probably an even number of people
who
want a pool (those with kids) as those who don't (those without kids)

Had one, now have a pond - much better!

So, if there is a buyer who says, "wow great pond!" then it will increase
the value, but if you get the guy who thinks, "Ack! Think of the
maintenance." not so much.
