I had an old fountain that hadn't worked since I moved into my house. The previous pump that was still installed was a MD1130 - they don't make that pump anymore and this one (52217) was a direct replacement. The pump is advertised as a 140 GPH pump, but the paperwork that came with the pump shows it as 130 GPH. It doesn't really matter much, but strange to see a discrepancy.
The cord length is 6 ft long, but it was really strange that I couldn't find that information anywhere on the product page. This was a bit of an issue for me since I was about 2 feet short of my outlet. I am using an extension cord for the meanwhile, but would have preferred a longer cord to prevent water intrusion and a possible short.
This pump works well for 3 feet and has a local flow control knob at the front of the device. It comes with two adapters to attach to your water tube - a 3/8 in and a 1/2 in adapter. As far as the pump goes, it works really well, but I really wish the cord was a bit longer for my use.

How To Pick The Right Fountain Pump
Find your fountain’s pumping height by measuring from the water level to the highest point that the water reaches.
Choose a fountain pump that has an Ideal Pumping Height greater than the height you measured. All TotalPond pumps have a built-in flow control feature. Select a larger pump and reduce the flow to your desired effect. Be sure to dial it down, too much flow and your fountain can run out of water and the pump might burn out. If the pump is not powerful enough for the fountain, there will not be enough flow or spray.
TIPS:
- If the pump is too small for the fountain, there will not be enough flow or spray
- If the pump is too large, it can run out of water and burn itself out.

Good replacement pump
My fountain is 21” from the pump to the top of the fountain. It needs more pumping power than normal because I have 8 jets on the lower level in addition to the center bubbler. TotalPond recommends measuring from the bottom of the fountain where the pump sits to the top where the water comes out, add 12 inches, then choose a pump with this ‘ideal pumping height’. They say that more height is better when choosing a pump since you can adjust the flow. I run my pump at full flow and it works fine. I like the fact that it’s UL listed, it has a one year warranty, and the impeller can be removed for cleaning. TotalPond.com lists this pump as Model 52217 (MD11130), 140 GPH, it comes with adapters for 3/8” and 1/2” ID tubing, and measures 3” x 1.7” x 2”. The flow is rated as follows:0 ft - 150 GPH1 ft - 110 GPH2 ft - 78 GPH3 ft - 25 GPH3.6 ft - 0 GPHThe original pump that came with my fountain was rated at 119 GPH, but the jets would reach only to the underside of the top bowl. The water would come out of the top bubbler weakly, but when crud started building up on the intake of the pump it would barely come out. I really wanted the jets to reach the artichoke on top, so I’m very happy with this pump. Although this pump didn’t include any filter material, there is a place for it on the pump so I cut a piece from some material I had. I also have the pump inside a fine mesh bag that helps filter out crud.
