Review:
Pump makes noise, mot much, but the metal back which protects the fan, sometimes touches the fan and makes sounds. I have an ES4500 its seems to pump a fair amount of water, but also take a fair amount of electricity, after switching from a one hundred dollar mag drive submersible pump, to this three hundred dollar unit, i was hoping for my investment back in energy savings, but i did not get much. The ES4500 supposed to take in the ball bark of 180 watts, when i purchased it, the specs sticker already said 207 watts. Which seems fine from the 600 watt pump i had so i though i would have it cheap. I plugged it in and my electricity bill was around thirty nine dollars higher, to my calculations with my current charges, it supposed to take around eight teen dollars a month of operation. Its i nice pump for simple jobs, like to a low head filter, under 3' high, or for TPR's, but for higher jobs, something more heave duty wold be better.

Review:
This is an "ok" skimmer. I needed to modify the weir, it did not have enough surface tension so there was debris on the pond a-lot of the times. I added a piece of foam, its works great now. What i don't like about it is the fact that it has no good place to drill to make an entrance form a bottom drain. This thing is HUGE & Strong, yet sadly no room to plumb a bottom drain into the basket. Also, it seems to sit a 3 - 5" higher than the grown, which i don't like. Overall a strong skimmer, great for UV's but i think it could be better, and for Eco-Ponds, something cheaper will work a-lot better.
