This pump is basically brand new I bought it as back up encase my other pondtec pump broke it never did .But my friends pump did and I lent it to him for a week and that is the only time it's been used.I am also selling my other pump which you will see on eBay which  is exactly the same but has been in my pond for six years and has never let me down .Get yourself a great pump at a great price.
