$ 12.00 Harbor Freight Pump is a gem
« on: June 29, 2007, 12:01:34 PM »
The head groundskeeper told me to tell ya'll that the 12.00 harbor freight pump is fantastic.
He got one last year and liked it a lot so this Spring when it went on sale again for 12.00 he bought another.
He installed the new one at the end of the dog leg, the old one is to the left of the statuary frogs by the big waterfall.
It has several couplings/fittings and all you need is a small piece of garden hose to hook it up.
He works great for getting little waterfalls going around the pond for aeration as well as interest.
They are only about 250 gph ...so very economical to use.
It's on the bottom right, under the rock.





The other one is next to the statuary frogs. Hard to see from this distance, but he rather have lots of
little falls going on than one big roaring one...

Thanks for the tip. I for most part love their stuff.. but I bought a small 250 pump last year for my small pond and it didnt make it through the season.  I was running it through some pretty bad water though so think I will try one more with a filter on it.

yes, watch for when it's on sale for 12.00...we got both of ours at different times for 12.00.
the regular price is 25.00.

Here it is, if you call them up ask when will it be on sale again for 12.00
(sometimes catalog places, honor the past sale price, if it was on sale recently.
Give it a shot.

I have their bigger pumps, a 1268 GPH and a 1585 GPH. The smaller of the two was suppose to replace the larger one when it went out. Well, it did but that didn't stop me from getting replacement parts and repairing the 1585 GPH. I ran it for three years through some rough  conditions that could have been avoided. It's running again but is a little big for my set up. The 1268 GPH is still in the pond. The pumps are pretty good for the price and it's easy to get parts.

Happy ponding,
Scott

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Their pond pumps seem to be little troopers. I have several for various spitters and they keep on running.
I was in our Harbor Freight today and they had them all on sale. Got one for $9.99. Prices are good thru 7/23 so you might check your stores for some deals.

Nice pics Joann, looking nice and lush there. Everything is quite brown and dead looking here due to winter...

I so want to visit New Zealand sometime.  I thought part of it or one of the islands was pretty tropical?  Guess if that's true you're on the other part  :)

i have the harbor freight pumps that run about 196 GPH powering my trickles towers, when they were on sale i think i paid 7.99 for them or maybe 9.99. they work like a champ, but i find a prefilter is a good idea if you have snails...:) I also bring them in in the winter and use them on my aquariums
