Highlighted Reviews

"It looks and works wonderfully in my water fountain, love the color changes"

— Pumpman

"This is definitely not a pond pump, unless pond now somehow means an indoor container of distilled water, which is what the included instructions demand."

Bottom Line

While the changing LED lights are a unique and enjoyable feature, the reliability and power output of this pump make it a questionable investment, especially for outdoor or larger pond use. The design is attractive, but the practical performance and durability need considerable improvements. It is rated below average and should be thoroughly tested for compatibility and performance before making a purchase decision.
