You might want to consider pump placement. Submersible pumps last longest
when they are pumping clean water. Thus having a filter out of the pond
with the pump in the last chamber receiving the clear water and pumping it
back to the pond. ~ jan

I read somewhere in this group that "Supreme magnet" pumps were good.
Went to a few websites...

DANNER SUPREME MAG-DRIVE PUMPS

Supreme Pumps Pondmaster
http://www.pondsmall.com/Supreme%20Pumps.htm

They all have different brands?

What are some good ones?

The pond is 390 gallons with a biological filter and three medium size
fountain spouts.

Thank you,

The ones that use less energy($) to move the water,
and the ones that need the fewest repairs($).

Since I've not personally used anything other than Little Giant
pumps, I'm not mentioning any brands.

LG is an ok pump, that's all.

The Pondmaster and the Supreme are both made by Danner. They are one and
the same. Go to http://www.dannermfg.com/pondmaster/index.htm for the
complete specifications on flow rate versus head. The major difference in
some versus the other with the same flow, is the cord length. Because of
your fountains, and the biofilter, I would look at the 350 gallon per hour
at 1 foot of head, primarily because it and the larger pumps have much
higher head pressure for the fountains than the smaller pumps. You will
need to look at these for you own requirements.

will exchange it free,no questions asked!
