Why do pond pumps vary so much in price?
With price comes quality, the more expensive pumps such as Oase will have more features and benefits such as thermal safety switches, lower power consumption, silence, reliability and reduced maintenance through the use of cages rather than foam pre filters all backed by a longer warranty period. The cheaper pond pumps are traditionally very basic, have higher power consumption, are less reliable and have a shorter warranty. Generally speaking, European pumps such as Oase (Germany) and Eden (Italy) are made to higher quality standards than Asian pumps. “You get what you pay for”.
