Finished with Laguna products. *QUALITY* pump recommendation wanted

I'm finished with Laguna products. I have their Laguna MaxFlow 2900
and it's the most undependable piece of **** I've ever bought. If Sony
and Microsoft worked together to bring a product to market even it
would be more reliable than this lousy pump. I even hate this thing
more than my lousy cellphone with the lousy speaker. I wish this pump
would just totally die so that I would just stop pretending that the
latest failure was the end of this endless series of failures.


Why do I hate this thing so much? Because:
1) When the power gets cut off at the house and then restored the
pump will not turn back on. I must yank the plug and reinsert it.
2) It seems to get clogged with water itself. My pond does not have
that much stuff in it to clog a pump and I even put it into a large
protective device!
3) I requires a lot - I mean a hell of a lot - of maintence. I mean
daily maintaince. I used to worry about this damn thing shutting down
for no reason while away for a weekend, but now I worry about getting
through the night! What's next? Failing to get through a commercial
break?

Laguna's customer service is nice, but their pumps are absolute trash.

Anyone have a recommendation for a submerged pump that is reliable, has
a maximum pump rating of about 3000gph, is reliable, is submergable,
and is reliable? Oh yea, and it needs to work too and be reliable.
Most importantly this pump needs to be reliable. Any recommentations?

Oase. expensive but work. Ingrid

===========================
I have a pump called a Big Versa that's been running for at least 9 years
now. The only problem we had with it was water leaking past the seal which
was easily fixed. It's still running as I type this. I think it's made by
Danner. I never see them recommended here but this pump is one faithful
workhorse. And in the end that's all that matters.
