wui39 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Well as the title suggest this is what problems I've had with submersible pumps over the last ten years that I've used them and eventually broken them The pumps: 1st Hozelock 300 2nd hand from dealer: First sub pump I ever owned, was the fountain/circulating pump for a 200L fibreglass goldfish pond. Problems: Needed new Impeller 1year (high cost of hozelock impeller $20 for a $60 pump) Needed new shaft(metal worn away $5) Eventually stopped working(Motor blown $50 to fix) 2nd German brand can't remember name now 2000L model Stopped working after 3 months frozen motor was returned and replaced with new one, also only lasted 4months 3rd Was upgraded to 3000L model after 2nd 200L model froze Intermitant pumping, freezes at times. Clogs quickly Now used to do water changes. 4th Hailada Sump pump Lasted 4 years Clogs quickly but powerful pumping. Almost impossible to remove cover. Broken shaft and impeller No spare parts available 5th Resun 2000L power head Rattling from impeller Loose cover Anyone else had similar problems let me know okay?
