Review title: Runs for only one season
Product review: I bought one of these that broke after one season and was returned under warranty. The replacement pump also broke at the start of the second season so I bought the replacement impeller kit which was the item that broke. That lasted only 4 months. I have a 1000 gallon pond in the northeast and run this for 8 hours each day for 7 months before it's removed and stored in the basement.Each time, the problem is with the ceramic bearing in the base. After several months, it loosens and begins to rotate along with the impeller. This gouges out the bearing seat and causes the impeller to rub against the sides of the base and finally breaks the ceramic shaft of the impellor. The base bearing cannot be removed so the pump is now useless.Although it has only one moving part, that part is a huge problem. Two pumps, same problem three times.Cheers....
