Aquascape91007 Ultra Pump 800 for Small Ponds, Fountain, Waterfalls, and Filters, 793 GPH

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to write a review to help others that might be thinking of this pump..My first Ultra pump was the 400 with a 7.5 Max head height. I have a 5 foot basalt rock fountain that sits in a 75 gallon reservoir. My first pump was still going strong after 3 years of a lot of use...but I was never happy with the water flow. I wanted a little more Max. head height (higher bubbles coming from the top). I even called the company and asked and they assured me the 400 would be plenty of flow for the height of my fountain. In my opinion it wasn't enough. I recently read another review that said go bigger and I completely agree. This time I went with the 800 series with a rated 9 foot head hight...Now I have the flow exactly as I wanted it...I have attached a video and a photo so you can see. For info, inside the reservoir the hose goes horizontally, about a foot before it starts upwards the 5 foot height of my fountain. If you have multiple fountains I would go even bigger so you get a decent flow out the top. Hope this helps.

The media could not be loaded. I previously tried the Freesia 400 and 600 pumps for this fountain and they didn’t have enough power to create a soft, audible, bubbling fountain in my vessel pot. This Aquascape 800 is perfect! It doesn’t have to run at full capacity and that helps save the life of the pump. I love the setting at which I currently have it set. Frommmybscreened porch I see and hear the melodic bubbling effect.

I've had this pump installed now for about a month. It turned out to be more pump than I really needed for my basalt fountain. Works great with zero maintenance. I had another Aquascape (760 GPM I believe) pump that ran day and night, season after season for about 5 years. It would still be working had I not allowed it to dry out after I moved. You CAN but parts for these pumps and had I known that, I'd still be using the older 760 GPM pump. Anyway, these Aquascape pumps are a little pricey but just keep on running and running and running and...........

Good product in general. Best flow rate/watt from the pumps I’ve tested so far. Flow rate at 1.5’ height was just about 600 gallons and the watt meter showed a maximum of 50.7W.That’s all I gotta say for now. Will update when I can.

We got a new fountain four years ago. This pump worked great, the original was always getting clogged up with grass clippings, etc, but always worked well when we cleaned it out. It finally gave up and we decided to get the exact same one to replace it, it works really well.

I bought this product May 2024, It lasted 5 months. It will not restart after cleaning. It is used in a very small fountain.

I have had the same model in my fountain since 2012 which is remarkable longevity for any pump. It finally went to pump heaven this june (6/2021) and I bought the exact same model to replace it. When the new one arrived the first thing I noticed was that, although they looked exactly the same, the new one was lighter. Once installed it, unfortunately, flowed about half the volume of the previous pump. I would return it, but the installation is so tedious and time consuming that I will leave it in place and hope it lasts as long as its predecessor.

the part that covers where the "fan" rotates only has two plastic clips and if one breaks, the part will not stay on which forces the water to spray all over. I cannot find a phone number to contact the manufacturer to see if I can buy the part. Can someone respond?
