elove 40 Watt Submersible Water Pump

Powerful pump - using it with aquarium

My usecase:I bought this pump to use for weekly water change in a 180 litre aquarium. I usually do a 20% water replacement. Doing it manually is a big pain, hence decided to go with this pump instead. I wasn't sure whether to get a 18w or the 40w pump since there are hardly any reviews mentioning the prospects of using it for aquarium water replacement. I ended up buying the 40w as I wanted to lift the water more than 6 feet.In my current setup, I have increased the length of the power cord by 6 feet (9 feet total) and using a pipe of length 10 feet length to fill the water in to the aquarium. It works extremely well, it can fill 20% of the tank in less than 5 minutes.The good:This is a small, nice , powerful motor that does the job. The water flow is good. The motor is very silent when in use. It's been 2 weeks so can't comment on the durability yet.The bad:The product information mentions that the power cord is about 3 feet long, it's exactly that but I wish it was longer than 3 feet as 40w will be used for different purposes than the 18w. I had to extend the power cord as the length was insufficient. Normally it's not an issue but since the pump is submersed in water, you have to be extremely careful everytime you use the pump. I am also not sure what the problem is in adding a 2 pin plug point instead of making us run to the shop to buy one and fix ourselves. Adding a longer power cord along with the plug point would be a great addition to this.Edit: 3 years in, still working great. I change water every couple of months in my aquarium and it works for my purpose. The only thing I am afraid of is the poor quality wire, I wish they update it to a good quality one and increase the length.

Good performance, but safety concerns with thinner wire

This is my third time buying this pump, so this comes from real use over time.The good part first. The pump itself works well. The flow rate is good and steady. I use it to move water from a bucket to a Sintex tank and it does that job without any problem.But this time I was a bit disappointed with the build quality. Earlier, the power cable used to be thicker and felt much safer. In this unit, the wire is quite thin and feels fragile. Since this is a submersible pump that works in water, that is a serious concern. If the wire gets damaged, there is a risk of current leakage, which is not something to ignore. Because of this, I reduced my rating from 5 stars to 3.Another thing I noticed, earlier they used to provide two outlet nipples of different sizes. This time only one was given. Also, it did not fit properly on the pump outlet. It was loose and I had to use tape to secure it.So overall, the pump performance is still good, but the quality of the wire and accessories needs improvement. If they fix these issues, it can easily be a 5 star product again.
