I have an old clunky-noisy self priming pump (what previous owners put in with the pond). Its very noisy they stuffed a pillow on top of it to insulate the noise and it still sounds bad.

I'm ready to get a good pump. I want an efficient, quiet pump that will work well, at a good price :z. I've read up on the Superfalls pump and the Pondmaster Pump

http://www.bestnest.com/bestnest/RTProduct.asp?SKU=PON-02777. I like the pondmaster because it has the leaf trap and the check valve as part of the package.

This is my first pump purchase and I really want to get it right. Any advice you can give me on this process would be greatly appreciated.
