Hello Guys and Gals, Just wanted to share a pretty sweet deal I found at a Local "Big Lots" here in Panama City where I found a Pondmaster 500GPH Pump and Filter Kit for... $25!
Now, I originally walked in there to find an inexpensive Large planter to make a filter when low and behold the brand "Pondmaster" stuck out like a sore thumb from across the Planter Isle. I have a Pondmaster 950gph Pump that is by far my best pump and is an inline pump and came with a 5 year warranty as well, but I paid $90 on E-bay for it brand new as they don't seem to be cheap pumps.
Big Lots had this Item listed at a $130 original price tag, so the skeptic I am I pulled the same item up on my phone and sure enough they actually go for a little less on Amazon and a little more on other sites, so... I BOUGHT IT! Here is the Item: http://www.amazon.com/Pondmaster-02215-Pond-Filter-Fountain/dp/B0006GXB5E/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
The filter I could care less about, but the pump is well worth it as I was in need of another around that size and the Inline 3/4 male to 3/4 slip on fittings are almost non existent in local hardware stores around here. I guess I could give the new unit a go in the new 600 gallon pond and see how it filtrates with 3 fish and some plants along with a Beckett 650gph pump with a slip on 8" Foam prefilter. anyways if you need something like this I would check your local Big Lots and see if they carry it, I know mine only have 2 left!
