CHANCS 3W 5.5-12V DC Mini Submersible Water Pump for Solar Power

Pump is fine, used to replace an existing pump which had worn out its nylon impeller bearing after about 8 seasons use, the original pump had a detachable filter chamber with a coarse sponge filter, this was invaluable as it stopped any detritus in the water (dead insects, grass clippings, decaying leaves, algae, etc) from entering and jamming the pump, if the flow slowed, I'd just unclip the filter housing and flush the filter out, and clip it back on, there's no filter on this pump, just a slotted base (which unclips and has a sliding plate to adjust flow), but I doubt it'd stop the smaller stuff getting sucked in, as a temporary fix I used insulation tape wrapped around the base and a chunk of coarse aquarium filter foam to form an inch long tube with an open end that holds the foam in place, I keep looking for something that I could adapt to form a better chamber for the filter and seal against the base of the pump, but no luck so far, it's a minor gripe and it's a cheap enough pump, I was half tempted to just transfer the impeller from the new pump to the old (assuming dimensions were similar)

Purchased for my water feature an it works perfectly well, would highly recommend

For being cheap it has been perfect so far can imagine it wont last forever but i may be wrong. Does what it says and it good for the price

The old one in my water feature had packed up so I took a chance and ordered this one, even though it was smaller in size. My fountain is now working perfectly again.

It’s a bit hit and miss working buts does go when the sun is strong.
