Best Danner 02660 3000GPH Magnetic Drive Waterfall Pump Deals

Our backyard pond is home to a few water-polluting Koi. In order to keep the water healthy for the fish, we have two separate pumps. One is located inside the skimmer box and pumps water to a mechanical/biological waterfall. The second one is located on the bottom of the pond and pumps water through a UV Sterilizer and then through an above-ground biological filter before emptying back into pond. Our purchase of this Danner 3000GPH pump is as a replacement for our skimmer pump (a Laguna model that suddenly stopped working after 7 years of dependable service). Since that Laguna model has now been discontinued, we searched for another reasonably priced pump that would fit into the smaller confines of the back section of our skimmer box. The Danner Waterfall Pump is specifically intended for this purpose and is very economical. We assumed the GPH (gallon per hour) rating was consistent among pump manufacturers and so we initially ordered the 2000GPH Danner pump in order to match the pumping strength and water flow of our previous model. For those people who are just beginning to get into pond set-up, you do have to make some calculations/considerations for the necessary GPH if you have a waterfall. If the pump has to move water to a considerably higher area or through a longer length of buried hosing...then you need to increase the GPH. BUT, if the water rushes too quickly through the mechanics of the waterfall, the bacteria in the biological filter doesn't have time to do its thing. Our previous 2000GPH pump was just perfect. It gave a nice, splashing amount of water coming from the waterfall...but didn't rush water through the filter too fast.

The GPH didn't begin to compare though. While the new Danner model was easy to set up, the amount of water coming from waterfall was only a bit more than a trickle. Really lackluster. So we returned the GPH2000 for the GPH3000. Works great now. The water is now pumping at the rate of our old GPH2000 model. We've only had experience with Laguna pumps so are not really sure if this is just an issue specific to the manufacturer of the Danner pumps or if the GPH can vary that much by manufacturer. If two different units are advertised as pumping 2000 gallons per hour; logic would say that the water flow should at least be similar, right? A mystery. Anyway, the new pump is working great so far. I would have given a 5 rating for the ease of set-up and the good value of this pump...if not for the issue with the incorrect flow rate. I'll update this review if the pump turns out to be unreliable.

UPDATE (February 2, 2013): Well, less than 6 months later...and the pump is dead. Our initial rating was 4 stars because of how well it worked; but feel now that it doesn't deserve more than 1 star with the durability/longevity problem.

I bought this pump and used it about 8 hours per day in my pond for four weeks. Went out one morning and found the pump wasn't working, I checked the gfi and found it had blown. I tried to reset it and it wouldn reset. I unpluged the pump and then could reset it. Thinking my gfi might be old I pluged the pump in direct to see if it would run the motor humed but wouldn't run. The motor has shot. I checked it with a volt ohm meter and found the motor was bleeding to ground. So $150.00 bucks plus shipping down the drain. Mine could be an exception and it did work well for the four weeks but wouldn't by another one.

The pump was my "go to" pump used it on my various filters my prep external filter in the Spring to get the pond ready for the season, then later as the waterfall pump. Used it for October, put it away for the Winter, then pulled it out again for the next year. So I used it for three weeks, stored it (indoors, after cleaning it) then used it for March, April, May and June. It died in the middle of July. I took it to a local pump repair business the starting capacitor was blown, and would cost more to replace than the pump was worth.

I've stuck with other pumps since then, usually a Tetra with a 2 year warranty. Had one of those go bad after two seasons but in warranty and it was replaced by the manufacturer.

Using this in an application that is kinda tricky. It is sending water up my homemade stream roughly 10 feet into a 3" pipe. This exceeds what it is supposed to be able to do. Yet it was able to perform great. It goes on every night, runs for 8 hours, then I turn it off. It has been performing flawlessly.

This Fireplace did not come with a remote control and the description said that it did. Unfortunately, that was a feature that I specifically wanted and I may have purchased another fireplace that I was considering that did have that feature instead of this one had I known this ahead of time. Other than that misrepresenation in the description, the fireplace does works great and comfortably heats our sun room which is a 13 X 16 room with a cathedral ceiling. We only used it to heat the room for holiday functions so far, but it has done the job quite nicely and everyone thought it looked very nice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It looks okay if you don't stare too hard at it, but the flames look obviously fake if you actually look directly at it while it's doing it's thing. The textured black finish on the MDF board parts looks as if it's meant to resemble cast iron, but it doesn't quite pull it off, it still looks like painted wood. What it does do well is make an acceptable supplemental heater for an average sized living area. There are two heat settings, and an adjustable thermostat. It would make it nicer if it had a crackling fire sound to add to the effect, instead of just a silent fire.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have not had an electric fireplace before. But, I was certainly surprised at the heating uniformity this one produced. I was suspicious that it would heat in one spot, like those small space heaters.

I placed this in the lowest level of my home. I have a Tri-level and the basement level is the coldest. Athough it is not too cold yet, this electric Fireplace threw out some instant heat. The heat soon radiated into the room, and it kept the heat in the room uniform.

I liked the look of the flames and the wood, as it is quite realistic. The flames are high, and consistently producing nice images of fire.

My only concern is that the flames are placed in the back, and I would like the flames to billow out of the "logs" also. So, the logs are lit, and the flames are in the back.

The unit, itself, does not get hot, and there is an auto safety feature. You can operate this with or without the heat. PLUS, you can operate one heating element or both for greater warmth.

I placed the Fireplace on cinderblocks to bring the heat up a little more. It is not heavy, so you can move it where you may need it.

So, the room I have it in is narrow, but long. The heat remained constant and uniform. But what I do not know yet is if this uses more electricity than normal. I will test it out, But, in the meanwhile, it is wonderful!! Works great, looks better! Rizzo

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this product to put in one of my bedrooms.

This unit, unlike the Vienna model, was packed well. There was minimal/no assembly required. Mine did come with a remote control but I noted that other reviewers commented on not receiving one. I think there is a quality control issue with this company that needs to be addressed.

This fireplace is a bit smaller than I envisioned but it looks nice although perhaps a bit dated. I wish it had a wood top surface but from a distance it looks OK. The flames look like what you would expect from an electric fireplace. It makes the room feel cozy. There are two switches for heat settings, both 750 watts and one setting for visual effect only.

I can't comment (yet) on the heating efficiency but aesthetically the flames/fire look good. Like I said, the unit itself isn't very modern but it feels at home in the room where we put it. Overall I'd recommend this item but I would caution buyers on potential quality control issues like bad packing and missing parts.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice sturdy fireplace that is attractive, easy to use and it has worked great. The "flame" is about as realistic as any other electric fireplaces, and is strangely mesmerizing. The three pane window provides a better effect than the single flat pane found on most fireplaces. We put this unit in our bedroom which isn't well insulated, the heater has already come in handy on a couple of cold nights.

An excellent, easy to use product that I highly recommend.

I had a bit of trouble putting mine together. Some of the connections were tight. I needed to protect two of the rods as I clamped on them to tighten them but the finish still scuffed off a bit. I also found that once I had put the top on the rod for the base that I could use that for some leverage to tighten it. Pay attention in the diagram to which length of rod goes with which tool and that the shorter screw end goes into the base. Other than that it seems fine.

This screen fits our old Rumsford Fireplace opening perfectly, and the spark guard at the top makes us all feel more secure by blocking shooting sparks. The screen is well made, it feels substantial, but not too heavy to move or tilt to add logs. One thing we really like is the unobscured view of the firethe screen is not divided in the middle and so we can really view the fire almost like there is no screen there! Much nicer than our three section screen with heavy wrought iron welds in the middle that this replaced!

The screen itself is nice and fits well but the handle didn't fit. The holes on one of the sides were too close together and the hardware wouldn't fit. That makes it go from a 4 to a 2.

I have a Rutland stovepipe thermometer on the stovepipe of our woodstove, and wanted another themometer for the stove top. This thermometer is smaller than I thought it would be and the printing is not very clear. When I put it side by side with my other thermometer on the pipe it read almost 100 degrees higher. I moved both thermometers to the stove top, the Condar read about 75 degrees higher. Seemed like one of them was not accurate, so I put them both in our oven next to the oven thermometer. In the oven set at 400 degrees they read the same. So I guess the are reading accurately, and the temp is just different on the stove top or stove-pipe within a few of inches.

All in all however, the Condar may be less obtrusive as some reviewers have said here, but I find it harder to read. If your intention is to be able to read your stove or insert temperature for safety purposes, I would not be so concerned with "looks". The Rutland is about 10% larger, and much easier to read. I do like that the Condar Medallion has a little wire "handle" that swings out if you want to pick it up and move it.

I bought this fireplace to replace a larger corner gel fuel fireplace that I'd retrofitted with glowing electric logs. I wanted something smaller and with a flame effect. This is a good-looking, solid piece of furniture that comes ready to plug in--absolutely no assembly required. Shipping was free, and the delivery man took it out of the packing for me so that I could make sure it was undamaged and that it worked. That was an unexpected extra.

FLAMES AND REALISM

The flames are fairly realistic, but you do have to be fairly close to the fireplace. When I'm across the room, I see the glow and flicker but not the flames, I suspect this is because the firebox is higher up, and if I were looking down on it, I would see the flames. (I base that supposition on the fact that I have a small electric stove in my bedroom, and the flames are easily visible from anywhere in the room, whether I am standing or lying in bed.) Had I realised, I probably would have bought a different fireplace with the firebox closer to floor level; however, it's not enough to make me want to send the fireplace back. The flames switch on and off with a remote. I haven't figured out whether the remote also controls the heater, but I don't think so.

Something to note with all electric fireplaces I've seen is that the mirror at the back (which gives the illusion that the flames are coming up from between logs) and the glass covering the firebox reflect what's in the room, which interferes with the illusion. My fireplace looks more realistic at night in low light, when it doesn't reflect the polished wood floor. My bedroom has dark blue carpet which simply reflects as dark and the flame effect of the stove is therefore more realistic at all times of day.

HEAT

I've turned the heat on to make sure it works, but it's not heater weather yet, so I can't comment on its heating ability in a cold room. I doubt it's powerful enough to be the sole heat source for my quite large living/dining room, but it will be fine as an auxiliary heater. And anyway, heating wasn't a prime consideration for me: I bought the fireplace for ambience rather than practicality.

BULB REPLACEMENT

I haven't actually done it, but from the directions it's much easier than bulb replacement in my little electric stove. The bulbs are standard candelabra bulbs with the small base, which are available in any supermarket and therefore more convenient than the halogen bulbs used by the stove.

BOTTOM LINE

An attractive addition to my living room. But if you have $2,000 to spend, look into the Dimplex Opti myst. Developed in Europe and previously sold only there, it is now available in the U.S. The technology creates an astoundingly realistic flame and smoke effect. Beyond my price range unfortunately.

I was looking for a realistic electric fireplace that would work for our bedroom. This one looks good, realistic flames, nice heater,very happy with the product itself. Dimplex is the best brand of electric fireplace, I have 3 of them. This is a good product but I could not find any other way to purchase it except on line no stores carried this one. Love it... Hated the shipping. No problems with Amazon for all prior purchases but for this we had 2 of this item broken in shipping; the first one we returned because it arrived in pieces, second one kept because damage was minimal but I didn't want to take another day off and had no confidence a third would arrive without damage, and I really wanted the product. Bottom line; It is not packaged well enough for delivery. Carrier Home Direct service was poor. Drop and run, unhelpful, kind of rude, and refused to take the return on one trip due to poor communication with Amazon. Ended up waiting around the house on 3 different days to take delivery in the end of one slightly damaged product and to return a badly broken one! I will likely never purchase anything from Amazon again unless they are things like books or other non breakable items. "Free shipping" ended cost me 2 vacation days and my Saturday off sitting around waiting. Yikes!

I fixed our stove door last summer with this kit and so far it's still working great. Easy to use, just had to google a video to make sure of what I was doing.

Used this kit last year and bought another this year. Best time to do this job is when the stove is cold. The instructions state to remove all old glue, apply a light coat of new glue and let dry for 10 to 15 minutes until it is tacky. This keeps the rope from falling out of the groove. I tried to do my last re-rope seal when the stove was a little warm and the glue went from wet to dry in about five minutes. I used a small wire wheel in my electric drill to remove all the old glue and re-glued. Works when done properly. There is enough glue in this kit to probably do five or more rope changes so if you want to save a little money, keep the leftover glue (sealed) and buy the rope seal in bulk from a woodstove store & forgo the entire kit. As an aside, I tried the graphite rope kit and DO NOT recommend it as the adhesive has a difficult time sticking to the rope. I bought one of those kits and after a few tries, threw it away.
