I believe I got a Frankenstein repair. The top half is a Piranha and the bottom half is an Anjon Big Frog. They included both books. I would have not purchased it had I known this unless it was significantly discounted. Our other pump died and we really can't do without a pump so we decided to keep it. It works great but I felt like the description was dishonest or at least deceitful ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars So Far, Wow! *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021* Our backyard falls courses down a hillside for about 30 feet. But after 12 years we needed to replace our Shinmaywa motor, which burned out. So far (1 week) this Piranha 5500 is very impressive - delivering a stronger flow even though the GPH ratings were similar, and the HP appears to be a little more than our old motor. Just hope this one will last as long. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87926560-half-off-ponds-piranha-5-500-gph-submersible-waterfall-pump](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87926560-half-off-ponds-piranha-5-500-gph-submersible-waterfall-pump) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
