The problem is with the little plastic shaft and its cog that engages a cog in the shaft sleeve of the impeller. There is play and *they do not fully mesh*, so after a month or two, the plastic sleeve just breaks from wear and the impeller stops spinning. I found that I could put the pieces together with a dose of superglue (making the whole assembly solid) and that got the broken pumps to work... for now, but there is no way I can recommend this pump. Be forewarned!This went from super loud to broke in a matter of 3 days. This product blows harder than a humback whale coming to the surface after hours under the water.
Buy Danner 02519 Mag Drive Model 1.9 190 GPH Statuary Pond Pump with 10-Foot Cord Now
I bought this pump 2 years ago. The impeller failed after one year the ridges on the shaft had worn down. I replaced it for about $12. After 10 months the replacement also failed. I bought another one, and it failed after 3 months. I glued the rotor blade to the impeller and it worked for a while. Now the motor has failed. Poor design. Not recommended.By comparison, I had bought a larger Little Giant pump (1150 gph)for a larger pond, and it has been running without problems for more than 10 years!Very good pump for our front fountain....I put it in a filter bag to keep it from clogging.

I have this pump and I have replaced the impeller every 6months since 2007. The replacement part cost as much as a new pump. POOR quality don't waste your $$$.
