Pondmaster Magnetic Drive Utility Pump for Ponds Pond Water Garden Pumps at Pet Mountain

On April 14, 2013:
It took a couple of days but customer service responded to my email analyzing the size of pump I needed. I went with the 12. Its the same kind I've had for 10 years. The delivery came as promised and the price... its great! A local store had the same pump that I paid $119.99 for $209.99 plus tax!

On April 10, 2013:
Great price. Great service. Will definitely order from them again.

On March 21, 2013:
Product arrived in very timely manner and works great.

I've used Pondmaster pumps since 1996. They are reliable, economical to purchase and run, and last for years and years, running 24/7 in all weathers. Highly recommend.

On August 22, 2012:
I bought this pump to replace another brand of more or less the same size. I like the pre-filter. It's in the bottom of the pond right now doing what it's supposed to do.

On August 17, 2012:
This is the second 9.5 mag drive pondmaster pump I've owned. We use it in our backyard fish pond to power the waterfall and we have never had a problem. Pet Mountain had the best price out of several companies that I checked out, the pump arrived at the promised time and in excellent condition.

On August 7, 2012:
Very happy with the pump. It moves a lot of water which is what I wanted because it is used to pump water for the water fall in my pond. Excellent price. Will be sure to check out your site the next time I need to make a purchase.

On August 4, 2012:
The garden pump was a great price, it arrived quickly, and it is just what I needed. It is working beautifully -- thanks.

On June 28, 2012:
Have had this pump twice...first pump went for three years...the last pump didn't make it for one year. Makes me wonder why and should I chance another 1800 gal. pump?

On June 21, 2012:
We've wasted $$$ on pumps that can't take replacement parts. Finally found this one. It arrived secure in it's packaging, promptly. Week one, performing beautifully. Will review again later.

On June 20, 2012:
I have had this exact pump working in my outdoor waterfall non-stop for about 6 years. It has worked perfectly as long as I did my job to keep it free of leaves etc., I expect this one to do the same and it has a 5 year warranty. Who could ask for more? Also the delivery from Pet Mountain was perfect...came earlier than predicted and well wrapped and protected. A good company to deal with it appears.

On June 19, 2012:
Had bought this same model 8 years ago from a landscape and garden center for approx $250.00 + more eight years ago. Couldn't find one local so had to hit the internet and found here thankfully. I've used my last one all year round, 24/7. Had a spare pump so didn't have to rush shipping.

On June 16, 2012:
I bought my first Pondmaster pump back in 1999. Here in NY it is in service from about April to mid Nov., and over that time has provided me with good service. Last year it developed a crack in the front cover and I tried to repair it, but it did not hold up, so I knew it was time for a new one. (As an aside, my neighbor had one that lasted 14 years.) After doing internet searches, I found that Pet mountain had the best price, so to take advantage of the free shipping, I ordered some filter media. This was my third order placed with this company. I thought that shipping could have been faster, thus the four stars.

On May 19, 2012:
Good pump that does all I ask of it. The price that Pet Mountain charges is obviously the best price out there.

On May 10, 2012:
Great pumps but impeller blades break too often, Just ordered two more pumps as backups when the other brand starts leaking oil in the water

On May 10, 2012:
I use this pump in a flotation tank using a high solution of magnesium sulfate. Most of the time it is great - quiet and effective. I have had two of these freeze up, however and be unsalvagable. I still like the pump and appreciate the good prices and service.

On March 30, 2012:
Petmountain had the best price for this pump. I emailed customer service with some questions and they responded promptly. Item was shipped and arrived in a short amount of time. Couldn't ask for a better transaction. Thanks Petmountain!

On March 13, 2012:
Shipping was fast and the mag is a great pump, did have to add a fan to my cabinet, but pumps a lot of water and it's fairly quiet.

On January 29, 2012:
A replacement for one we use in our church baptistry. Purchased the next size up.Web site is easy to navigate and pricing was excellent. Quality product and company.

On September 9, 2011:
This is the second Pondmaster Magnetic Drive Water Pump that I have purchased. The first one lasted 10 years. They are an excellent product.

On August 25, 2011:
I got this for my pondless waterfall and 20' stream. I have almost 7' elevation from pump to outlet and 40' of 3/4" hose. It performs very well and produces a good volume of water for the stream that empties into a 31 gal. tote tub that I use for a reservoir.

On May 19, 2011:
Pondmaster finally put a plastic filter cage onto this pump. My last pump broke because the sponge filter kept falling off, the impeller would become clogged, and I would continually have to drag the pump to the surface and unclog it. There is no such problem with the plastic filter cage that came with my new pump.

On May 18, 2011:
Solid construction. Cannot wait to use. Typically, shipping was almost faster than the payment clearing - yay! This pump did come with a pre-filter. Buying one separately is not necessary.

On April 28, 2011:
I have been using this pump for several years. It works great and is very reliable with one major exception. The impeller has a ceramic shaft that easily snaps in two if any debris gets in and clogs it. This is a design flaw. I finally got a pre filter that has stopped this problem, but the shaft should be metal or something sturdier as it should not snap when it gets clogged.

On April 26, 2011:
I bought this pump 20 years with a case and filter. I have been looking for this pump for 2 years since the old one died and was thrilled to find it at a reasonable price. It is exactly what I had and it fits in the filter box and is in my pond at this moment cleaning things up. Thank you.

On November 4, 2010:
The big Pondmaster 2400 pumps are strong, efficient and trouble free. I would recommend them to anyone.

On October 7, 2010:
This is a 1800 pump. It is great.

On October 6, 2010:
The pump works great. It is just the right size for the fountain. The fountain works better than it did when it was new.

On September 19, 2010:
My husband and I bought one 5 years ago. We rarely cleaned it and it still ran without any problems. That's why we are buying another. This time we plan on cleaning it.

On September 19, 2010:
I've had my PM 9.5 for 2 years now for my 50 gallon Fish Tank. Below it is a Filter Tank, so the head is 4' from there back into the Fish Tank, and for the most part it is really great. I decided I wanted more filtration, but with the new filtration, the 9.5 cannot keep up with the outflow vs. the inflow back into the Fish Tank. Nonetheless, I intend to purchase the Mag Drive 5 to compensate because I am impressed with the Pondmaster power and longevity.

On September 14, 2010:
I've been using these pumps for sixteen years now. I left several in AZ when I moved, but got new ones here in Florida. Bought the 5, 7, 9.5 and the 12. The 5 and 7 have been used continuously in my wet-dry filters for a 72 gl and 125 gl. The 9.5 and 12 have been used in outdoor ponds. All are going on 11-12 years old. The only maintenance was for the 12 which got a small rock sucked up into the impeller. So simple to fix, just unscrew pull out, brush (toothbrush) clean and reinsert. By the way I even dropped the magnetic impeller and chipped the magnet but just put it back in (even though u can buy replacements quite easily) and plugged it in. All have been running for the years stated and 24/7. I'd never be without them!!! I can't say one single negative about these pumps!

On September 10, 2010:
magnetic 1800gph pond pump. pond master. this was a replacement from the same as we have had for five years. very pleased

On September 1, 2010:
I have a PM 1800 now for 5 or 6 years. It runs 24/7 365days never turns off and only had to replaced the impeller once. Just lost my waterfall pump for the 3rd time, another brand which runs 24/7 for about 6 to 7 months per year. Had enough so I'm replacing it with a PM 950. Bottom line you get what you pay for. Will never look at or buy anything but a PondMaster Magnetic Drive Pump again.

On August 25, 2010:
Just got my Mag-drive 7 pump and I loved it. Price is very good too.

On August 10, 2010:
Our previous 1200 GPH Pondmaster mag pump lasted over 7 years with no problems. However, After several seasonal cleanings, we thought it best to purchase another one. What a great price Pet Mountain! Appreciate your help and assistance.

On July 30, 2010:
We have used this pump for the last 5 yrs without any problems.... I highly recommend to anyone want a pond pump without maintainance.

On July 25, 2010:
After struggling with other pumps, I purchased the Mag-Drive 18 pump and it has worked perfectly. It is very quiet and it has significant power. I'm still in my first year, so I don't know how long it will last. But so far, it has been great.

On July 6, 2010:
The pump is much more powerful than the previous brand that I used. The problem I have is with the pump filter. It is a two piece affair that is made very thin and flimsy. It collapsed on the first day of use! I was actually sitting on my swing watching and listening to my waterfall that never had this much water coming out of it before when the flow suddenly slowed to almost nothing. By the time I got the pump shut down ,I discovered one of my prized goldfish, Earl, had gotten sucked into the pump inlet. Sadly, I had to take him out behind my barn and put him down, thankfully it only took one well placed shot.( I kinda made up some of that last part). I'll now make my own filter that won't collapse or fall apart. I think the company has to re-think their filter design to make total package 100%.

On June 30, 2010:
My 700 gph Pondmaster has been good and never clogs but recently gave up the ghost after about 2 years. Still a good buy for $75 and better than the other alternatives. Glad some folks are getting more life than I do.

On June 21, 2010:
The Mag 18 pump is just one of several Pondmaster Pumps I have owned. All have exceeded expectations. Most have been operating 8 years or longer. Repair of the one moving part (impeller) is easy and inexpensive.

On June 20, 2010:
THE MAG 18 PUMP IS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL PONDMASTER PUMPS I HAVE OWNED . ALL HAVE EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS .MOST HAVE BEEN OPERATING 8 YEARS OR LONGER.REPAIR OF THE ONE MOVING PART (IMPELLER) IS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE.A VALUE VISTA!!!

On June 15, 2010:
I have three of these pumps, two 9.5's and 12. I have used them in my wet/dry filters for years with no trouble at all. The Mag 12 I use to transfer water for water changes works great.

On June 12, 2010:
I have used a Pondmaster 700 for about 4 years and it has worked flawlessly. My wife wanted to add a few more feet to her waterfall and a new stream so we are ordering a 950 gph pump for her addition. If it works as well and as economically as our first pump I know we will be very happy.

On June 6, 2010:
I have had a 9.5 Mag-Drive for 6 years without a problem.I run this pump 24/7 all year long ...keeps my pond crystal clear.I am going to buy another for a new project. Best Bet by far.......

On May 18, 2010:
I was impressed by the construction and operation of this pump. Note:If you purchase this pump expecting to hook up a raw hose to it, you will need a fitting, as it doesn't come with one.

On May 13, 2010:
This pump definitely impressed me with amount of volume it pumped to the top of my 9 foot waterfall. It is pretty heavy -- helping it stay in place, and probably giving me that "solid feel of quality". Seems like it'll go for the long run.

On October 14, 2007:
The Pondmaster Mag-drive is a serviceable pump and very simple to use. The main drawback in my experience is that hoses need to be clamped to the intake and outflow nozzles- it would be nice if that were a part of the package and instructions!

On September 6, 2007:
The first pump lasted Five years. I hope to have the same luck with the new one.

On September 1, 2007:
user friendly! easy to access.very helpful

On August 22, 2007:
The Mag Drive was recommended to me last year for my small pond and I would not dream of using anything else. Very durable and reliable. Pet Mountain has the lowest prices of anyone and I have searched!

On August 7, 2007:
I've used Pondmaster Pumps before and they have proven to be the best for me compared to others of similar cost. After looking everywhere Pet Mountain has the best prices!

On July 15, 2007:
Used in water garden when we first put it in 5 plus years ago. Still running but want a larger capacity pump.

On July 6, 2007:
I have to replace this pump now but had it working well for 5 years. It was opened to replace the inner piece and wasn't connected tight enough. If not for that it would still be operating. I will purchase another and highly recommend it to any new shoppers.

On June 18, 2007:
I had this for 3+ years, always reliable, quiet, and pump water really well. Expensive, but you get what you paid for.

On May 21, 2007:
I have had this pump before worked great until my Lab wanted to see what was inside,
Did not even think of another pump this one was so great!

On May 15, 2007:
We been using the pondmasters for many years and they work great. They last long and run for many hours.

On March 31, 2007:
This pump ran continuously for 10 months of the year for 2 years. 24 hours a day. no problems.

On March 30, 2007:
your pumps are reliable & trouble-free

have enlarged our pond 3x & have always used pondmaster- wouldn't use any other! They never wear out.

On March 2, 2007:
I have been using my Model 7 for well over 3 years now without a problem. I have had to replace the impeller once due to my own negligence.. forgot to put the filter back on =] Watch out for those little rocks!

On October 25, 2006:
I had this pump for 8 years before I had to replace it. Its a great pump for my waterfall and you guys have the best prices by far! Quality pump and runs quitely compared to others!
