VIVOHOME 220W Pond Pump, 4500GPH Submersible Water Pump for Koi Pond

Works great

I am using it for my backyard waterfall and pond. Works great so far.

I have been using this product for nearly 10 years, and purchased the same pump from this seller 6 times. I must say their price and quality are among the best in similar products. I live in Houston and have a koi pond of around 4,000 gallons, with koi and water plants. Because the weather is extremely hot, I run the pump almost year-round, 24 hours a day, only shutting it off when temperatures drop below freezing. Under these conditions, the pump typically lasts just over a year before it breaks down, which I find acceptable. Other products I've tried didn't last as long and were more expensive. However, I did have to return it twice due to issues arising within just a few months of use, so I can only give it four stars. 7/1/2024: After one week negotiations, seller sent me a replacement. 6/22/2024: I have It broke down after just over three months of use. Because the GFCI tripped due to the rain, I unplugged the plug to reset the power. When I was about to plug it back in, I noticed something inside the socket. I took it out and realized it was the middle pin of the three prong plug that had broken off inside. I have never encountered anything like this before. It was very easy to unplug, and there was no resistance at all. The quality of this power plug is terrifying. I have purchased the same product from them five times during these years, and it usually lasts over a year. Since I run the pump 24 hours a day, whenever it breaks, I always assume it's a motor issue or battery problem. I never thought to check the plug. I have heard of power cords breaking, but I never imagined the power plug pin itself would broken inside the socket. Since it has been over Amazon’s 30 days return policy, I can only contact the seller to request a replacement or refund. To my surprise, they replied saying... “We apologize that we cannot replace the wire for you, as it is sealed directly inside the motor with epoxy resin. To help you resolve this issue, we'd like to order a new plug from our manufacturer and send it to you. You can cut off the original plug and attach the new one. The shipping time will be about 2 weeks. Please let us know if this is acceptable.” This is an outdoor appliance and it's for a water pond. If something goes wrong because I did the wiring myself, who would be responsible? This is also a safety hazard. If an electric leak or shock occurs, I don't think they will take responsibility for it. Really disappointed with this seller.

It's working great for my Koi pond It's putting out a lot of water

I contacted seller and told them the pump had stopped working. They wanted order number and pictures. I sent order number and 4 pictures and have heard nothing since. They were friendly when I first notified them! I ask that something be done bcuz I don't want to lose my koi fish. Out of 12 I have lost 4. I bought from this company bcuz I had gotten the same kind of pump 4 or so years ago and had no problems. Use your own judgement if selecting one of their pumps!!!

Great buy for the money! Low noise level and durability is unmatched! Nice cord length and I use mine in my gold fish pond. Perfect water flow.

I have a large water feature and my pump went out. After searching the internet, this pump stood out as the lowest cost option. My current pump is rated at about 3800GPM, while this pump is rated at 4800GPM. Some of the 1 star reviews complained about low flow, but if you understand these high volume pumps, they are not designed to maintain high flow, under high head pressures (10 feet-ish), which could be the reason for some of those reviews. Since this pump cost about 25% less than the closest challenger, I opted for the added GPM, in case it underperformed. I installed the pump a week ago, and it is operating great. The flow is more than my previous pump, so I would say their rating is accurate. It might help to have the flow/head charts in the Amazon details. Can't rate the longevity yet, since it's only been a week

Good construction. Best design I’ve seen for pond pump this far. Easily feeds a 2 inch 24 foot line with 5 foot lift to filter with waterfall and a 9 foot 1 inch id spur line to to second filter and waterfall 3ft lift. Screen design is easily removed and cleaned doesn’t plug off like many and smaller Debris go thru pump without worries. Actuall water flow cooling design. Very impressed

Bought this to replace a failed more expensive 3500 gph name brand pump and also wanted a little more flow for a low level waterfall. This unit looks to be of equal and good quality and offers more features like a multi positioning outlet which is a great feature for better positioning of the outlet hose, plus the ability to replace the impeller. Some reviews indicated early failure, so I bought the additional 2 year warranty available upon purchase. The flow rate appears to be as advertised. This product is well packaged and the instruction manual is well written, indicating to me a likely good product made in China. Don’t confuse this with the other Vivo brand. This is for the VivoHome brand. I would recommend this pump.

Muy buena calidad por su precio
