Comments: The product is perfect for my application. It's easily hidden in the rock work and emits a good flow for my size tank. It's quiet and seems to work great. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Below Average

Rio800 by JOSEPH JACOBS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/10/2008 from UNITED STATES

Comments: These are short lived but they have high head for gallon per minute. This 200gal pumps to 5 feet while I find I need to go to a 275 gal to get same head result. But I have gone through too many and if the ones I have now prove to be as bad as the past I will not repurchase. One of the last two I bought here was noisy and short lived the other did not make it a year. I have a Maxijet (2 year warantee) in one tank now and I will try Mag-Drive when and if the rio 800 I just purchase proves to be the same as last ones I purchased. Look at the 180 day warrantee compared to 2yr offered by the Maxijet or one year offered by Mag-Drive. The cost is the only saving grace. They should be silent when purchased and if not return them as that is only a sign of a defective unit. I am only sorry I did not take the time to return my last ones. It seemed that returns were not worth the shipping costs on this one so I did not bother. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
