3 out of 5 stars Functional all in one   October 13, 2007
The pondmaster PMK190, is a good product for the money. Quite functional. The down side to this unit is the size of the tube and bell fountain head. The tube is a non standard size and finding different fountain heads at your local home improvement store is impossible. Also with the filter being submerge its kinda a pain to clean, frequent cleaning is a must depending on your area and what is in your pond.Product does what it claims, and is good value for the price.

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head is exactly what I needed to clear that funky split-pea soup (algae-ridden) water in my Shubunkin, Comet and Koi ponds! Simple to use..., Has a very sturdy handle (convenient for lifting the unit out of the pond for cleaning). Takes about 2 minutes to hose off the 3 (very thick) filters and put the unit back in pond. The 190 gallons per hour "pump-suck" is quite powerful and quiet. My ponds were crystal clear in two days. I don't use the optional fountain head because I have spitters and waterfalls, already -- not using it creates a very nice rippling agitation effect on the surface of the pond. Your neighbors will be in total awe. :) My fish are quite happy now that they can actually see me coming to feed them -- and see their food pellets floating on the top of the water. Perfect! --Katharena Eiermann, 2007, the Realm of Existentialism -- Presidential Hopeful


5 out of 5 stars Good pump and filter   May 14, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The pump works quite well and does create a nice spherical pattern. The head is adjustable so you can make different patterns. For example, it can also shoot jets out perpendicular to the head. There are no instructions for how to change the pattern and it's definitely not obvious, but you just have to rotate the very top of the head. The filter is very large and easy to access for cleaning.

I've tried to use solar-powered pumps and filters in my pond, but they're not powerful enough and tend to get clogged easily and break quickly. This is a much more powerful and sturdy pump with a far larger filter, so it should do the job much better. Definitely a good pump for the price.



1 out of 5 stars Disappointing quality and performance   August 18, 2006
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased the first PMK190 Pump and it did not pump properly. The magnetic pump made a lot of noise: apparently the only moving part was faulty. As a result it did not produce a fountain out of the fountain head but just a slow stream of water. I returned the item and the second one was not a lot better. Although it pumped more water and was slightly less noisy it still did not produce a decent bell shaped form. The fountain head is non adjustable so I assume also this pump does not deliver the capacity to create the fountain as displayed on the packaging. The filters are very cheap and the rest of the construction also feels cheap. I will return the second one as well and get a refund.

This is the best price I found for this product, which is still sold in stores. Functions as it should. Arrived as promised in new condition.
