Pump finally died

My old Beckett pump that ran the 2000g pond finally gasped it's last this
afternoon. It ran for 7 to 8 months for 10 years. No water leaked into it
this time. There's a dead spot my husband said so the impeller wont turn
unless helped. That wont work when it's in a basked under almost 4' of
water. So....... we have to replace it. This time I'm getting something
epoxy filled.

How about a pondmaster Mag Drive 24 pump? They work pretty well. I have
the Mag Drive 18 pump, and am happy with it's performance.

=================================
Yes. I have the catalogs open here on my desk. I see a Pondmaster Mag
Drive for $146.99 @ 2,400 gph and a MagDrive for $124.99 @ 3,000 gph but
there is no brand name in the catalog for the "MagDrive" unless that is it's
brand name. I don't know who makes it. Any suggestions?

Right now I have a smaller back-up pump running the filter and settling tank
but need something larger.
