ok guys, I need to buy a new pump soon and was just wondering if there are any specific brands of pump that I should stay away from? Anything I should watch for?

I'm looking for 1500gph at the very least. I know to stay away from oil filled. During my research of different pumps I've noticed a big variation in watts/amps. Money is kind of tight right now so I'm trying to find something affordable. I'm just getting a little nervous because I'm using my "spare" pump now seeing as my "regular" pump died this spring.
Both of my pumps are laguna and they have been running now for 6 and 7 year. Replaced the impellers in them once. The beckett pumps are pretty good as well.

Looks pretty decent. What is nice, low watts, low price, and spare parts available. This is a pump I was looking at getting, but they lack the higher gph pumps, at a decent price.

hi Meekaboo you need to look at how high your pump has to lift the water,,,and ,look for one that can pass solid particals to your filter......i just replaced cyprio titan 1450 that is a nice pump,with a laguna max flo 4200......i bougth it on ebay for 180 bucks.....like kirscp said ,low watts will save you money every month
