Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I normally don't bother with reviews but i thought I better for this pump. I have put this pump through hell. Removed the foam filter completely and just let her buck in a pond for the last year. I had it inside a home made filter which was basically just a bucket full off dish scrubbies. The bucket would clog and starve the pump for water till my water fall was a piss trickle for days. Cleaned and it was 100% again. Now i just toss it in the pond without the bucket and pull the crap fron the grate once in awhile. I left for a few days and the intake got so packed with sludge that the pump was getting zero water. It blew the ground pin out of my extension cord and tripped the breaker. I pulled the sludge out and swished it around in the pond and she fired right up full flow and hasnt quit yet. Did i mention the pond is directly under a tree and has two geese and two ducks that live and s*** in it all day. The pump is a beast.
