Up to this last Beckett purchase I was a great fan of their products, I have three ponds, all three have has Beckett pumps running 24/7 four over six years without problems. I guess that this unit was an exception but two weeks? The filter did not appears clogged and I could not see and debris. The unit runs and the impeller turns, just does not pump any water.

I have several ponds for 12 yrs. now and have had Beckett pumps that lasted for yrs.. This is simply a piece of junk. The foam filters just "sit" on top of the intake tube. There isn''t anyway to lock them in place so mine float right off. I have to hold them in place w/a large flat rock sitting on top to hold them down. Then there is the 400gph. That is a very questionable figure as it doesn''t pump as much as my 300gph does and is all but powerless. I wouldn''t recommend this to anyone. I have had it for a few months so I don''t know how long it will last but I don''t believe long as it seems to pump less and less. If it dies over winter my fish will die. I might just head off trouble and quickly replace it before winter gets here.POS................The filters on this one clogged two and three times per day. Placed it on a brick to get it away from the bottom of the pond, clogged more. It got so it was clogging every hour after 2 days of use. It will work you to death. Returned it to the store.
