Patriot pump anyone?

13 years ago

Has anyone had experience with a Patriot Koi Pond Pump? I am having difficulty finding out whether I should go with a Patriot Koi Pond & Waterfall Pump KP10000, or something else would be better. I would like a interior pump, unless for some reason a exterior pump would be a lot better choice. I had a nice gentleman suggest the Performance Pro Artesian but it is a exterior pump. Your experience or wisdom would be Welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for the research, I appreciate your time and trouble. I sure don't need anything that will cost any more than it has to. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?

I couldn't find any ratings on that pump. You must have done a good search Joe. Yes, thats a lot of watts but its a large flow. I have a small pond with a 2400 gph Laguna mag drive pump that draws 100 watts. But they only make them up to 4000 gph at 160 watts.
