Review of Lotus Diamond 1800

A reliable pump

Advantages: Very low maintenance required.
Disadvantages: 240 volt needed, low voltage would be safer.

I have been using the Lotus Diamond pump for some years now and have found it to be a powerful and robust pump. It has lived up to all expectations and although I have not cleaned it as often as I should, it has never given me any trouble. The pump is very simple to take apart, clean, and re-assemble and requires no further maintenance. I have found it powerful enough to give a good supply to the filter box as well as running a fountain, and I ...
...overflow problems with my filter box. As with all 240 volt appliances in the garden, a RCD should be used in the power supply for absolute safety. My pump runs day and night, three hundred and sixty five days a year, and seems as good now as when I bought it. ...

SUNJET 150 SOLAR PUMP - PUMPED UP & HAPPY !!!

Advantages: No electric cable
Disadvantages: needs direct sunlight

Hi, I thought I would tell you about this pump. I hope you find it useful and would appreciate your feedback. ************WHY************ Ok, well the reason I got this pump was basically because I really fancied having a beautiful focal point in my garden. I have been to other peoples gardens who have a water feature and always thought there is nothing nicer than relaxing in the garden with a cold drink as you listen to the gentle sound of trickling ...
...ideal and not too expensive. **********COST*********** I bought this on-line and paid £25.99 which I do think is pretty ok. Beware if you are looking to buy this as the price really can vary from shop to shop. I think the dearest I saw was £39.99 (BIG DIFFERENCE) NOTE - This is only the pump and not the bowl (if you want to have a bird bath), but is all you need for a pond. As for any other costs - there aren't any !!!! Because it is a solar powered ...

Review of Smart Solar Sunjet 150 Solar Powered Pond Pump

A solar powered water fountain for the garden.

Advantages: Cheap and easy to set up.
Disadvantages: You need the sun to shine for it to work.

...150 solar powered fountain by Smart Solar from an online garden centre who I had used before and it arrived within 5days. The kit comprises of a solar panel measuring 5 ½” x 5”, the pump with 3m of cable, two extension tubes and a choice of three heads and a mounting kit for the panel. Putting together is easy – just insert the pump, which is cylindrical and about 4” tall, onto the base which is a flat circular ring with a plastic sponge like filter. ...
...need one or two extension tubes which are each about 3” long and then decide which fountain head you want. The choices are between a simple stream of water, a narrow spray or a wider spray. The height of the water jet will depend on the strength of the sun. Very bright sun will produce a jet of up to 10” and this becomes less as the sun intensity decreases. Now place the pump in position under water. It is important to remember not to run the pump ...

Review of Smart Solar Sunjet 150 Solar Powered Pond Pump

"Two Squirrels in a Fountain"

Advantages: The sound of trickling water on a hot sunny day
Disadvantages: Must make sure that the water doesn't run dry

...(picture below). Bermuda Water Features are exclusively distributed by Aquatic Options in Halesowen. As well as Two's Company (BER142) there is one depicting two Otters on a Rock, called Watering Hole (BER141), which is equally as charming. My Out-takes = I made two silly mistakes whilst setting up this water feature, giving my husband the opportunity to say "told you so" and me to quickly empty it out and put it in the garden. Just ...
...tell you what I did as a warning:- After setting it up I decided to go back into the house to sit and listen to my handywork. After a "nice cup of tea" I went back out into the conservatory to see how it was doing and to my horror there was water everywhere and the pump was making a terrible grating noise. I quickly turned it off and investigated. Of course I immediately blamed the product, as you do, and looked all round it for a leak. I soon discovered ...
