Little Giant PES-80-PW, 566714

Works great

I obtained a desk fountain with a broken pump. I bought this to replace it, and it provides the exact pressure to restore the small fountain. I like that when the water gets low, it still circulates the water, but it makes a telltale clicking sound to remind you to refill the fountain. This prevents it from running dry.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve only been using for about four months so can’t really say how long this will last but so far—so good. I’ve operated at least 12 hours a day and sometimes for 24 hours straight with no problems. Has aEnough power to send a steady flow of water at least two and half feet vertical. Nice bubble of water as it reaches the top and spills over fountain creating pleasant water sights & sounds.If you are expecting a super powerful force for large fountains or ponds this would not work, but for a small to medium sized fountain operates perfectly. Adjustable flow is limited and I pretty much have it on high.Very important to make sure your inflow doesn’t get clogged with debris (which will cause the pump to quit working) also want to make sure there’s enough water covering pump or it will burn up (like any other pump). So far, couldn’t be happier. I haven’t received my latest utility bill so can’t say how much power this uses but seems like it uses very little electricity and well worth the price for pleasant fountain ambiance.

The feral cats love moving water! This little pump was easy to install and we like that the flow adjustment doesn’t require that the case be removed like the previous model.

We don’t get a lot of water in the winter months so I take my Liberty pump out of the sump basin. But this weekend we had snow, rain, and high temps so the basin was filling up as fast as I could empty it out by hand.Bough this little pump on a whim and ran a drain line to the basement drain. Emptied it out in 10 minutes without issue. I’ll probably leave it on a smart plug and occasionally during the winter.

We needed a small pump for a small fountain. Old pump parts kept slipping of and petering out. This new pump has delivered consistent flow with a steady and nice trickle sound. Easily adjustable. Easy to put together.

This is the third one of these I have owned. I use them in a small water feature I made. The first one lasted a very long time and the second one did not which is why I gave longevity three stars. The size is perfect for my water feature which is filled with rocks. The water level is a few inches above the rocks and the sound made by the little giant pumping water back into the water is very pleasant and relaxing. I would definitely purchase this product again, although I'm hoping this one will last for more than a year.

3 stars is probably a little light but these things are constantly getting blocked when used in their most common applications- outside fountains.It would be fantastic the manufacturer were able to come up with a solution.
