Sorry David, I don't know anyone in that business.

The koi pond pump lost the ability to pump so it became a object for the landfill. The folks that come out and dug the hole for the pond, and brought out several tons of rock to landscape it made a pretty pond, but the guy who plumbed it should get several kicks to the balls for the way he installed the original pump. He glued everything together. The only way to get the pump out of the water to even clean it meant cutting the 1.5 inch PVC. So after the first pump failed, I engineered a universal joint to allow me to remove the pump easier. Then that one failed, I decided to re-engineer it a lot. The POS quality, overpriced "Koi pond" pump was no long available, so I had to find a new pump to replace it.

I used a great super simple connector and a flexible 1.5 inch hose to replace the old system. This time for a change the pump failed on a work day. So yesterday I ordered a new pump from WW Granger, and had it shipped to the local Granger store. No shipping costs that way. Just a 24 mile each way of almost all interstate. At least it did not fail on a three day weekend and cause a long delay.

I picked up the new pump this morning, and it took me longer to unbox it than to connect up the one threaded fitting into the pump. Ta Da, water is falling out of the waterfall again. The bosses wife is happy, the koi are happy, the tadpoles are happy, and life goes on.
