    We've been running 2 pumps, 2700 gal each, on our pond/waterfall for 10 years. Not the same pumps, we have to replace them every 2 years, and sometimes every year when we are unlucky. This is getting expensive as they ar around $500 apiece. What brands of pumps do any of you use, and how often do you have to replace? Our pumps are in a skimmer, under the filter, and we are pretty good at keeping the skimmer cleaned out so I don't think we're 'abusing' the things. We run the pond from about April-Nov.
    Thanks much for any help/suggestions!!
