Customer Reviews for Alpine Corporation 1800 GPH Energy-Saving Vortex Pump for Ponds, Fountains, Waterfalls, and Water Circulation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alpine Corporation 5600 GPH Vortex Pump has been great so far. Not only can I use it in my Koi pond but I can also use it to pump the off water of my winter pool cover, transfer water from a rain collection barrel or even pump a flooded basement area. This pump can operate fully submerged or has an adapter option that allows dry staging with mounting capabilities. This pump will be extremely useful above and beyond it’s intended duties. The pump is easy to assemble and set up. It is also extremely quiet. Cleaning it is simple too. I am very pleased with this pump and I know it will last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its almost spring and summer which means bring out the water! Ponds and peaceful surroundings are here! I love this pump it does a great job and comes with all you need to set up your own oasis in your yard, business ect. Very well made

Pump died after 1.5 years of intermittent use. Always was submerged, and never ran dry. Very disappointing.

Works great in my 400 gallon duck pond!!

Did what was expected

This 3000 GPH pump is comparable to the 2000 GPH pump I replaced. I was expecting a more powerful stream in my waterfall. Not so.

Works perfectly but is not as strong as we had hoped.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use water pump works perfect in my pond

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saving pump from alpine corporation is very impressive. It works very great more than i expecting it. We had no difficulties using it and also setting it up in our pond.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vortex pump has been designed specifically for fountains and waterfalls, so you don't have to worry about anything else; and have came with instructions really clear and easy to follow. Pressure Strong enough to enjoy your beautiful your garden

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking into a new pump for my pond and decided to try out this one by Alpine. The Vortex has worked out great for me. I am extremely impressed with the craftsmanship of this pump. It is working out perfectly for my pond which also has a waterfall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alpine 5600gph pump has been great for me. I first used it to get some water out of my basement and it worked great and fast. Also not as loud as my old pump that croaked on me. Then I put it in my small duck pond. My favorite feature has to be the filter. It keeps all the debri and junk out and is super easy to take out and clean. I really like that the pump is small and easy to move around so I can move it and use it for more than one thing. My next project is to pump the water out of my cistern into water holders for my livestock. This pump is going to make that job so much quicker. The set up was easy and the instructions were clear. The extra long cord was a huge plus as well. All good things with this pump this far and it has helped make jobs so much easier on the farm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump works great for our backyard pond. It provides a nice water fall sound and the motor sounds is minimal. It’s creates a nice peaceful sitting area and I’m looking forward to warmer weather.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted a small pond and fountain for a few years. I was able to finally purchase everything I would need. I got this Alpine Corp pump and it is working wonderfully. I highly recommend trying to find one if you are adding a small fountain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump was perfect for our pond project. It was easy to install and it works great. It is just the right size for our backyard pond.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband installed Alpine Corporation 3000 GPH Vortex Energy-Saving Pump for Ponds, Fountains, Waterfalls, and Water Circulation in our backyard as I wanted a pond. It was easy to install after reading the directions. The water circulates well & the pump isn’t loud while plugged in. If we decide to go bigger I would definitely go straight to Alpine Corporation for all my pump needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to get this pump going this spring as soon as the weather warmed up. My husband and son prepared an area last fall for a water feature off a new patio they built. This pump would work perfectly for that purpose but it's missing a hose adapter so installation has had to wait. As for the pump itself, it is a nice quality pump. Although much of the exterior is plastic, the motor is all metal and the impeller is solid. Between the pre-filter cage and/or the mesh bag that it comes with, there shouldn't be any debris big enough to cause any issues. The only potential issue is if water is allowed to freeze inside the pump. I don't think this will be an issue as we plan to remove the pump in winter months. The 20 foot cord is long enough to control the unit without the need for additional extension cords. I plan on plugging it in to an outdoor smart plug to control from my phone. Hopefully I can get the hose adapter soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item as my son is building a small fountain in the front yard for me. It's the perfect size for what we was needing. Highly recommend this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Alpine Corporation 5600 GPH Vortex Energy-Saving Pump replaces an older an less efficient one in my water feature. What I like best is that the pump also has a vortex impeller with a large pre-filter, and can be dissembled without tools, as my wife prefers it that way, indeed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this pump in my small fish pond,it seems to be working very well! The water is running with a good flow and is as strong has as pump we had that was more costly. I installed it and it was was fairly simple. I am really happy with the extra long cord, as I didn’t have to use an extension cord.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using in my coi pond that has a waterfall. Powerful and quiet. Love the features that can be used out of the water or if used in the pond has features to keep residue out of the pump and clogging up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alpine Vortex 5600 GPH Pond Pump is AWESOME! We just finished creating our pond with a waterfall and this pump is perfect. It is very easy to use/install and can be used for many different things. I was surprised by how quiet it is when running. The pump can work both in and out of water and has a 20ft cord length. Pump has a vortex impeller and a 5600 gallons per hour flow rate. Comes with a mesh bad to catch debris, suction cups for mounting and adapter for different tube sizes. We have ours submerged in the water using the suction cups, it is not very noticeable at all. So far we have been using it slightly under a month and have not had a single problem. It is very energy efficient and well made. I would definitely recommend this pond pump, it is really nice all around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently expanded our pond in the patio and this pump has been a great addition to keep the water circulation and maintaining it cleaner for our 2 turtles, is energy saving so that’s a plus, is pretty small so you can actually fit it in any corner, works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for use in a new koi pond we built. It is super simple to install and use. We had no problems with it not working or with it getting clogged up. It produces the perfect amount of air/bubbles. We had no problems with fish getting sucked up (which had been a problem in the past). It does seem to be very well made as well as durable. I am quite pleased with how well this works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a strong pond pump that will take good care of most! Set it up in a vertical or horizontal orientation and plumb it to your existing piping. It is relatively quiet and won't hear it if submerged! The Alpine should last!!
