Alpine Corporation Power Head Pump 80 Gph / 6 Ft. Cord

This was exactly what I needed to replace a 10-year-old German made pump, which I had repaired twice. Received the pump in only 3 days without additional shipping cost, as we are close to the warehouse. It is very quiet and works fine lifting water 18 inches at about a 2/3 max. I add petroleum jelly to help seal the light glass (but avoid getting it on the bulb itself).

I have a very small and very beautiful fountain. It must have come with a pump that was more powerful than it needed as I had to fill the fountain 2 times a day to keep up with it. However, I didn't realize that it had anything to do with the pump. We finally had Hurricane Debbie (in Florida) and I didn't go outside or think about it. The pump ran dry and no longer worked. Hurray! Because, I then got this one and it has been perfect. It sometimes takes 2 days before the water level becomes an issue. It creates a lovely sound and is just right.
