Hi Dewalty

I installed the pondxpert 20,000 vario pump, lowest wattage i could find on the market available, i installed 2 a few months back, all seems good at the moment.... cheers Steve
Dewalty - 24-05-2022 06:34 PM View Conversation

Hi, I see you were trying to find a pump with a low wattage at 30% at the end of last year. What did you end up with. My 200w unit needs to be replaced for a more power friendly one. Thanks
