I keep the water stored in a 5 gal bucket and this pump is perfect for the size. I am very pleased after a week of it running constantly. I will be replacing it with a 1375 GPH pump. Plant was happy and my house was cool!

WEAVERBIRD Final Thoughts
"No issues at all."Any pump will clog unless the fountain is kept clean. 5' in max setting but slowed down any higher than that. Using right now for my indoor pond for my koi until the one outside is finished. 5' in max setting but slowed down any higher than that. Performing water changes was messy and hard on the joints. The trick to making it last is to keep debris and algae out of it. They seem to also enjoy a small water fountain and splashing in it.

"It's firm!"Great flow that is easily adjustable. The only reason I couldn't give the pump 5 stars is that it does generate some heat. That was barely within the pump's capability. I cut one end off old garden hose and it fit perfectly on end of pump. Put it back in the aquarium and has been quiet ever since. By the time were ready to pump the water back in, salt is completely mixed. Best emergency replacent I've bought for my 75gallon reef tank!

"Powerful pump."I ordered this pump to keep the filtered water for my plants aerated. This pump is perfect for the small fountain and provides the sound of water flowing. I cut one end off old garden hose and it fit perfectly on end of pump. That was barely within the pump's capability. So I connect a pump to tubing and run to a drain. Eventually, I had the hose squirting water on the inside of the right pane of glass. Keep that in mind when running through a similar setup.

"I have a bad shoulder."Replies quickly and resolved issues quickly! Quiet and flows well for a pump that is only a couple inches in size. I really like this pump, although I would have liked a little more flow. The trick to making it last is to keep debris and algae out of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a tube. Based upon comments the motor is prolly not consistently manufactured. Both from the tank to the bucket, and from the bucket to the tank.

"Have it on low speed."I have the little pump turned down, but the video I attached shows it at full blast. The water movement helps attract them. And their customer service is great. The water is crystal clear and the bottom completely clean by morning! I ordered this pump for some minor jobs unrelated to the basement. Quiet and flows well for a pump that is only a couple inches in size. Eventually, I had the hose squirting water on the inside of the right pane of glass.

"It was perfect for our 2."Recently saw a small tabletop fountain in a gift store for an outrageous price. And moves a lot of water,if needed! Some of my orchids do not do well when the relative humidity drops below 30%. The pump is adjustable from 30-100%, has convenient feed option. The only reason I couldn't give the pump 5 stars is that it does generate some heat. I've been using mine now for over three months and it is working beautifully. Liked the product and happy with it.

"Great power as well."These are bags you put carbon in for filters. By the time were ready to pump the water back in, salt is completely mixed. Mine is powerful others not so powerful, i guess. This pump is great,its small and you can hook to a water hose to drain. This brought the relative humidity up to about 64%. What everyone says about the silicone tubing being kinked up is true. I wound up buying a less exspensive, simpler one.

"The not waterproof plug."I'm using this for mixing salt and pumping water back into my tank through the sump. The effluent connector exits on the top and is pointed up. Great flow that is easily adjustable. Might be a good idea for them to figure out how to ship the tubing more reliably. This pump is perfect for the small fountain and provides the sound of water flowing. Great for mixing my saltwater and transfer to my display tank 30 feet away. The water refill only takes a couple minutes.

"I loved how sheer it was."No more trying to lift a 5ga bucket full of water! Moves a lot of water, which is what I was looking for. Would highly recommend if you need to move large volumes of water quickly. Will empty 75 gallons of mixed water to my 300 gallon aquarium in about 5 minutes. That was barely within the pump's capability. Wife had bought a small fountain at Goodwill and the pump was bad. Pump works fine, but I definitely over bought.
