    Hi folks,

    Need to replace a faulty pond pump. The feature is about 1.5 metre tall.

    I see some Blagdons on Amazon for small ish money, 50 pounds.

    Anyone have any recommendations? Wouldn’t mind spending more to get it right, once.

    If you want to get it right, go for an Oase.

    They are worth the extra cost, but shop around.

    Ive a blagdon 5-1 in a pond with koi and it does a good job. I have it maybe 3 years? You have to maintain it of course or the fountain feature turns from a lovely bell(or whatever attachment your using) to a few trickles down the side.
    You need to change the uv sterilizer bulb every year.

    Ordered an Oase pump off Rockworld.ie

    Probably a tenner dearer then Amazon but suppose it’s time to support our own!
