Thanks to the low power consumption, you don't have to worry about the pump running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The pump also has several ways to draw in water: through a skimmer on the side, or through the large debris basket in your pond. The pump also has a high head height, which is handy if you want to use it for, for example, a waterfall or a stream, giving you a beautiful waterfall.
