I have a #KSP-5000 submersible pump that I need to replace. I have had nothing but trouble with these pumos and was wondering if there is another brand of submersible that I should look at. My current pump has a tendency jam and stop working for no apperent reason which is obvoiusly not a good thing, especially if I'm not home. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Rob, if reliability is key look into Eheim or Tunze

A choice of either of those pumps would likely end your problems. There are other cheaper choices out there that do not have the reliable reputation of these companies, but for a submersible return pump, this is the recomendation I would give to a friend.
