Well, as others have said, I found this to be a terrific pump. It's easy to get parts for it when the impeller eventually breaks in a year, as is the way of submersible pumps. It's powerful, doesn't clog easy, and so on.The real problem is the prefilter it comes with is total garbage. The original one was actually worse - it's essentially 2 pasta strainers which have a threading on one side for the pump. They implode\crush within a day or so. The newer model I have comes with a plastic "cog" that goes in the middle to give some structural strength. Unfortunately they really need to do a redesign, not some after-the-fact hack like this, because it still looks like the Hulk crushed it after a day or two.The pump is very, very good, but you will need to get a replacement prefilter. If they didn't include a picture of the prefilter; I'd give this 5 stars; but as they prominently display the prefilter in the image I feel it's considered an integral part of the package and must regretfully knock them down to 3 stars.
