[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Free to Review Alpine Corp Eco-Twist Pump with Controller panel, 5300Gallons Per Hour with 33' Cord electrical, Is a Very nice quiet reasonable Sized ( 1'x 6"x 8) pump great for circulation in your pond or moving 5000 gallons of water over a shortish distance constantly. Not all season but then a 5000 gallon pond freezes unless well south right? Highly recommend this pump for general healthy water maintenance of any water source you have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the Alpine corporation Eco twist pump with controller with a 33 inch cord and my husband took the time to install it and we are both loving it. There is simple maintenance with a removable rotor assembly. There is a 75% reduction in energy consumption. It saves about eight teen 122 kW per year. So far my husband has told me that it is very easy to use and control. I would recommend this for anyone who’s putting in a pond or currently has a pond and needs a new pump.

I selected the Alpine corporation Eco-Twist pump 5300 GPH version with controller for a new water-feature (cascading water over large rocks into a pond) that is being planned for installation in my backyard this Spring. In talking with various landscapers, they indicated the Alpine Corp twist pump (with magnetic motor) was the way to go to save on energy costs. This pump many features and can be submerged or placed in a box (below water level). The twist feature also the outlet to to be adjusted to any angle for hose attachment. We plan on designing the pond to have 2000 GPH for normal state and up to 5300 GPH when being viewed. Having the controller allows the pump to be even more super efficient and only using high volume water fall when needed for effect. Pump has 30' cord and comes with inlet and outlet adapters. The modular design allows for easy tear down and maintenance. Overall, this is one of the best pond pumps (if not they best) in pond pumps in the market. I can't wait to install this pump in our new pond.

The pictures on the websites make this pump look small, and not produce a strong stream. That certainly is not true with the Eco-Twist Pump (by Alpine Corporation). This pump is a hefty-pump and is capable of transferring 88- gallons of water a minute. Be sure to follow instructions and use a two-inch pipe to get full use of the pump’s capability. The Alpine Corporation is not an overseas company but is a U.S. manufacturer who has been producing products since 1999 in California. Warranty and replacement parts come from California. The pump itself is merely a drop into the water reservoir and use. Depending on your power source's length to the water reservoir, the 33-foot cord may or may not be long enough; however, the pump only pulls one-half of an amp, so the wattage should be 200. Attaching to an equal size gauge extension cord should pose no problem. The controller is easy to operate, and you can control the water flow rate with a push of a button. In a short test, the pump was able to everything the manufacturer claims it will. Keep in mind to protect during freezing weather.

The Alpine eco-twist pump is a great replacement for my old waterfall pump. I dropped right in to the well in my pond and easily connected, I did have to mount the controller which was pretty simple . The Controller is great by letting me control the flow of my waterfall and therefore control how much water noise I get from my waterfall. Actually I am getting very nice effects on the low setting. The pump is very quiet, appears to be solidly built and should last for years. I expect it to also be more energy efficient than the 7 year old pump it replaced.

The Alpine Corporation Eco-twist pump is perfect for large pond and waterfall applications. I like the option that the pump can be installed out of the water. Submersible pumps are nice because they are hidden, require less piping, and there is no pump noise. However, they are not always easy to service or to clean any filters and screens. They provide you with adapters for in or out of water installs. This pump allows you to select the angle for discharge. The long cording is handy as it gives you options for installation. The controller is easy operate to regulate the flow.

Great pump, large intake cage, lots of pressure, able to run several water features at once

Excellent pump, works very good, I have been waiting to write this review to make sure that the pump performs as the information from manufacturer stands. I have used for about a month, so far all good.

The pump came with motor jammed sideways in the case. I'M SURE IT WAS FROM SHIPPING. i straightened it out. The while i was assembling it the articulating elbow came apart and would not stay together. Customer service sent me a new part a week later so now i have a working pump.

Work for three months.

Can’t wait for spring

I purchased this pump a few years ago for many reasons. The price was right, it has a 33-foot cord, and only uses 35 watts of electricity. It has done everything I hoped for. And when I contacted Alpine's customer service with questions, I got an actual person! My computer wasn't 'talking' to a robot! That's so refreshing these days. They were very courteous and helpful. I highly recommend this pump and this company.

Manufacturer or wholesaler (Alpine) states on its website that parts are available only from retailers. Home Depot, the retailer, states no parts are available from it. Back to Alpine, which states it has no parts of any kind for this product, and does not know when it will receive any. Alpine promises to contact me when and if it receives parts, but it has been weeks and I have heard nothing. I need additional parts for the installation in my application but it appears I am out of luck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The eco-twist eco-energy efficient pond and waterfall pump with in-line water flow controller is capable of 5300 gallons of water per hour and as low as 2000 gallons per hour the best part is that it uses 75% less power than that of other pump with the same capacity. The perfect pump for water features that will have constant use. The easy installation and ease of use 10 out of 10.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the coolest pine pumps you will find! It saves electricity which means you will save money all year it works for very large ponds as well as waterfalls it has a vortex impeller and a really huge filter which will come in handy for this and it's for in or out of the water which is the neatest feature it has!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm going to start by saying I absolutely recommend this pump. I have went through 3 pumps in less than 2 years, but this one is working like a champ. I have a pond with a small waterfall in my front yard and finding a quality pump that doesn't cost a fortune has been impossible until now. I've had no issues with it at all and the fact that it has a 33' cord on it really helps. It was really easy to install, I didn't even need to ask my husband to help me. I definitely recommend this pump, I personally will never use any other brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a backyard pond and waterfall next to our in-ground pool. We were looking for a water pump that could increase the waterfall flow and be less expensive to operate. In the past we have installed submersible pumps and found that they were a big problem to service. This Alpine Corporation Eco pump can be installed above ground as well and makes servicing much easier. The longer cord and energy efficiency, the remote controller are big plusses as well as the volume of water this pump can produce. I would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a fish pond in front of our house and the pump went out this summer and we have been looking for a new one. When I saw this, I figured we would get it for our pond. It works perfectly. The flow is amazing and bigger than our original one. I love walking out and looking at our pond. It looks so much better. It was so easy to install and I didn't even need my husband's help, I could do it myself. It is very durable as well. I'd definitely recommend this.
