which external koi pond is best

[lamluu]

Hi every one my name is Luu .I did build Koi pond ,now is time to chose an external pump .Out there some brand make pumps but i really do not know which one is good that meant running smooth quiet /good performance and reliable and efficiency because it running 24/7 .I did research online and I am interesting on Reeflo hybrid hammer head/barracuda gold pump, Elite 800 platinum pump and Sequence 1000 .Do some one know please help me some idea about external pump Thank you very much

Sequence, Performance Pro or Easy Pro would be my recommendation. Have never heard of Reeflo or Elite.
What is the gallon capacity of your pond? You will need a pump that will cycle the entire volume of water 1.5 - 2 times per hour for best results.

look at energy use also and customer feed back

Welcome to the forums, Luu! Is this an indoor koi setup? The Reeflo hybrid model you reference is a high-flow pump designed for relatively large indoor saltwater reef systems.

We use an inline dry pump which is an Oase 3500 its had all sorts of things happen to it becoming stuck by numerous bits of K1 even running red hiot because of this .
Once it ws allowed to cool down it started first time on each and every occiasion , it is still pumping water around our system as we speak .
So any Oase pump I would recomend to you .
If your after a wet pump the one we have is a blaggdon 2000 which sits in the filter of our 550 imperial gallon QT unit .

I would also reccomend an uv-filter too if cost permits and as far as the filter go with @Meyer Jordan on this one

Thank you very much every one .My is an outdoor koi pond .It about 4500 gal ( I just guess ) and it above aground .it's round shape 12Wx8Lx3.5D .The Elite 800 platinum that I research they said good for 5600gph max watt:248, max head:22' and 1/10 hp and go with 4 years waranty .all that look good to me But I try looking for customer review and I found none on Amazon I am confuse

I use a Reeflo Dart Gold on my pond and it works great, but you need to install a debris pre-filter because those pumps are designed for indoor aquariums and can clog easily.
I would follow Meyer Jordan's recommendations and not worry about Amazon reviews. Online reviews from retailers can be questionable.
