Una excelente marca,y he visto el crecimiento de mis tilapias

I installed our pondless waterfall in the fall of 2021. It's a great water feature for our front yard and we greatly enjoy having it. The pondless waterfall came as a kit which included an Aquasurge 2000 submersible pump rated at 2000 GPH. That pump, which I reviewed under "Aquasurge 2000" is a great pump. Unfortunately, in a little over 3 years of service I've now had two pumps go bad and, at a cost of over $300 it becomes an expensive maintenance cost. After many hours of research, I decided to give the Vivosun 3000 a chance. The waterfall has been out of service for a week and when the pump arrived today I got to work. the Vivosun 3000 is noticeably smaller than the Aquasurge 2000, so I was immediately skeptical that it would deliver 3000 GPH. But, it seems very well made and has a solid feel, so if it at least equaled the output of the pump I was replacing, I'd be happy. The discharge port on the Vivosun is the same size as on the Aquasurge, but sits 2-1/4" lower. The easy-enough fix was to fashion a stand-off, using spare PVC parts I had on hand. This raised the port to the same height as the Aquasurge, and made attaching the Vivosun to the waterfall supply line a "plug and play" replacement. After connecting the pump to the waterfall supply line, the moment of truth had arrived. Will the $75.00 Vivosun 3000 give at least the same performance as the much more expensive $320 Aquasurge 2000? I have to say, I was actually excited when I plugged the pump in and watched the waterfall come back to life!! And the answer to the question "Does it work and is it worth it" is a resounding YES! I don't have a way to measure the actual flow-rate, but the waterfall certainly is more robust than with the old pump. This was an easy replacement (with a few extra steps needed to build a riser platform). It performs wonderfully, and saved a good deal of $$ in the process. If this pump, running 12 hours a day, 24/7 on a timer as the old one did, lasts a year or more it will be well worth the cost. At this point I highy recommend this pump for my type of application. Good job Vivosun!

Great product, super quiet. It has been installed for 2 days now and no issues. Replaced little giant 5-MSP pump, much quieter and , 1/2 the price. The little giant pumps kept failing just after 1 year when the warranty was over, the pump would continuously trip the GFI breaker. Will see how this one lasts.

El producto llegó roto y nada que ver con el de la imagen y aparte no llego con los accesorios que dice la descripción Un producto de mala calidad

Honestly, was a bit hesitant given the price being so low but I gave it a shot and hot damn it is a workhorse. It can pump really decent sized particulate matter without clogging and easily lift it over 6 feet. Got this one to run into a bog filter for my duck pond (home to 6 ducks) and it has been perfect. Gets the poop out of the pond and into the filter with 0 issues. Have had mine since 2023 and it still performs great, running it continuously from April to November, cleaning and doing maintenance on it only twice a year. The plastic has 0 deterioration and the performance has not noticeably dipped.... Until I did drop it on some rocks with the cover off and managed to chip one of the propeller blades in October 2024... but it, surprisingly, still worked well enough to last to the end of the season. Upgrading the bog filter this spring and so will be getting a more powerful version with the hobbled one going into my smaller pond.
