I ordered a "pond pump"
I ordered a "pond pump", advertised to be good for 600 gallons per hour. There was no mention in the ad about diminished flow rate if the water had to be pumped up hill. Obviously up-hill pumping causes some loss of flow rate, but I assumed the loss would be nominal with a rise of two feet, which is what mine was. After all, isn't that typical for backyard ponds? Well, the loss was a whole lot more than that. After installing the pump I measured the actual flow rate at 363 gallons per hour, which is only 60 percent of the advertised rate. So I complained. A cool-off-the-customer guy named Joe contacted me and assured me that a loss in flow rate of that magnitude was to be expected, that he couldn't take the pump back because his company didn't deal in used equipment, and that "we stand 100% behind the products we sell." Well, Joe, I hate to tell you but that simply isn't true. Your company deals in failure-to-disclose advertising and doesn't stand behind its products. I will never buy anything from Webb's Water Gardens again, and I suggest that anyone contemplating the purchase of a pond pump look elsewhere. There are lots of choices.
