System ok, bad pump

First impression: The power adapter is surprisingly large, and the pump is very fragile. In operation, a loud, relatively high sound - I would most likely compare it with the sound of an electric razor, but louder. Annoying when you sit near.

A few weeks later, the pump then has given up the ghost. Although it still makes noise, but no longer pumping. As one can see from the bottom of the connection of "bucket" and hub, the cause can also be seen: The metal hub but no longer revolves still busy, the plastic pump wheel that wobbles only listless. Seems to be just stuck, and this connection has probably solved.

The Amazon-support told me that I can return the pump separately without having to tear the whole system from the flower boxes. Let's see if it works.

In summary: Once again one of the products for which a really good idea was spared broken. A slightly higher quality connection, perhaps metal instead of plastic, and I would have been completely satisfied. But .. I'm curious how long hold out the next pump. Buy again, I would not, but for lack of alternatives I use it now first it. And when the pump again gives up the ghost, is probably hip itself tinker.
