Title: Pumps Continue to Fail
Product review: Since about 1998 I've had a 325 GPH Beckett pump and about every 2-3 years like clockwork the pump fails and trips the GFI receptacle. I use the pump in a small 1/2 wine barrel pond with an old style well pump. The head height is less than 24" and the pump only runs 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening. I'm pretty careful to keep the screen clean so as not to overheat the pump. My fourth pump failed yesterday. It has only been in operation since June of 2008. The good news is, it was a warranty replacement for the previous pump that failed in the exact same way. Teh bad news is they will not replace a warranty replacement. The pumps are "potted" so they are not servicable and must be replaced when they fail (throw aways). I would advise against purchasing Beckett pumps as the seem to keep failing the same way and at about the same time frame.
