Midland pumps?

[VABeachPondGuy]

Has anyone had any experience with these? The prices for new ones on ebay seem hard to beat, less than half of what the competition is asking. The 6500 gph pump is like $115.00. What if anything is wrong with these pumps? I can't find any information on operating costs or dependability.

925 watts...no thanks.....laguna 3200 gph pump draws 130 watts max....that pump uses 8 times the electricity....cant afford that myself. i could run 2 lagunas 3200s, draw about the same amount of water, for 1/3 the power. even the laguna 4200gph pump only draws 160 watts. you'd recoop the savings on the pump in one season.

I have to agree with Mark on this one that it uses way too much power. My sequence pump pushes 7200 gph and uses somewhere around 450 watts.

We don't even notice the affect of the sequence on our electric bill.

Like they say above check out the power usage before you buy anything.
