| Sandy, you don’t want a pump set up for 220. The load you are talking about is very light and won’t need the higher voltage. Get the pump with a 110 volt cord attached.Stick to name brand pumps, Sequence, Performance Pro, or Aqua Flow are major suppliers and their products have been through impressive quality control processes. Some others may tell you their pump is as good but you’re taking a chance with the quality of pond installation folks in your area. Stick to a local koi dealer with a store front. Patronizing them will be appreciated and they will be eager to help you when you need help.If someone tries to talk you into another pump email me and I will take a look.Where are you located in N. Cal? You may be able to have an AKCA Koi Health Advisor(KHA) drop by and give you some valuable pointers before you do anything. That’s our job and we do it for free although we would appreciate people covering expenses (gas) but don’t let that worry you, it’s not absolutely necessary. There are several KHAs in the SF Bay Area. Another suggestion is to drop in on a local koi club some of them have good info and friendly people. |
