Ratings & Reviews for smartpond Low Water Shut-off 500 -GPH Submersible Plug in Fountain Pump

Replacement pump

Nice little pump , my Moms burnt out so I replaced it with this model, easy to install and the adjustable PSI is really nice so you can adjust the flow just the way you want it .

Pressure/volume drop

Installed as a 16” lift water feature spout. Starts out with good flow, but after less than a month flow drops significantly! Followed all cleaning instructions! Tech support sad it was a bad armature and sent a replacement. Less than one month later same result! New pump coming! New review tbd!

junk

made very cheap impeller shaft broke after 4 hour of use junk

Need to sell replacement impellers for pumps

When straight to area found product.

Impeller broke

On the plus side, it was nice while it lasted. the low-water shut-off does work to shut off the motor when water is low. We ran this 500 GPH smartpond pump a few days a week for several months, now it doesn't pump water any more. I disassembled it to clean it according to the video on the smartpond web site and found that the white plastic impeller just spins ineffectively on the shaft. So although the pump spins its magnetic rotor, the white plastic impeller doesn't spin with the rotor, so no ...

Lowe's is very user friendly.

The product just top notch always from Lowe's never had a bad dealing with any Lowe's product.

Good flow +

New improved maintenance feature is a big plus and should help extend the functionality of the pump.

Easy Pick-up

Very convenient and they called to make sure I knew my order was in the back lumber area.

Great fountain pump!

Put this in a medium sized fountain to replace one that just died. This was able to push water up a 3/8" tube 3.5 feet and shoot it in the air another 6". Actually had to adjust the flow down as I didn't want it launching that high. Only recommendation I would have is to get some type of mesh screen to cover the intake so it doesn't get clogged with debris.

I bought the 84576 a little over a year ago and still have the Lowe's receipt. Only recently when I shut off the pump via a switch controlling our fountain the pump will not restart without me disassembling it and "fooling" with the blades inside the housing. When I called customer service they said this is the way their pumps are designed. Since the pump never had this issue before this response was a "polite brushoff". Having to disassemble our fountain to restart the pump is a major pain ...

Does not last past a couple weeks

Worked great for the first week now will barely pump. I have cleaned the pump per instructions.

Good Flow

It's a good pump and a good fit for the fountain it went into..

Worked perfect

pump burnout

This is going to be my second time I had to return this pump. This pump does NOT shut off when water is low to Prevent pump burnout. when my fountains water got low I didn't even have time to refill it before the pump burnout. It has happened twice now. I do like the pump because it is hard to find a pump for a for 5-7-ft fountain with the 500-GPH. I will be returning it again and getting another one. Wish the low water shut off would actually work.
