Pond Pump

I went to China Town today to buy a pump. I saw rows and rows of stores selling pumps. I went to a few stores to canvass for the lowest price for 1/4 horsepower pump. Unfortunately there weren't any 1/4 HP pumps. There were only 1/8 ,1/2 an 1 HP. I saw a shiny stainless steel Asahi brand pump rated at 1/2 HP for a good price. I had it tested at the shop to see if it was ok for my needs. I tested it and it seemed that it was too powerful. In the end i opted for the 1/8 HP one. The 1/8 HP pump casing was a bit of a letdown to me, since it was made out of plastic unlike the 1/2 HP and 1 HP which was stainless steel. Hope this one lasts a long time...I'll post pisc of it running when its all setup.
