My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Recommend a good 4K hr pump? Replacing sump-pump

14 years ago

I had my pond put in last year and the installer put a sump-pump in the skimmer as the main pump. The pond is around 800 gallons with a nice waterfall about 4 feet high that splits into two smaller falls. He used a sump pump which really puts on the volume of water but I know it will not last long term. I am wondering what would be a good pump that will be energy efficient, last several years, and put out around 4000 GPH to feed the waterfall. Any recommendations?
