Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with rio pumps. I need another pump to up the flow through my filter and seen these for pretty decent prices or are they cheaper for a reason?

I have to take the impeller cover off and flick the impellar to get it running and then try to put it all together quickly and get it back in the water. It's a Rio 2600 I think.
Danner Mag Drive, Dolphin, Gen X are good submersible pumps. I'm sure there are others. I have a Mag 12 that works good for me.

Check the impeller housing... if it is in good shape, then the shaft is probably worn. You can get a new impeller & shaft pretty cheap. Buy 2 at a time though, because shipping is almost 50% of the cost.Kart Racer wrote:How do you get it to start pumping again? Or would I be just money ahead to put another mag pump in my sump and be done with it?
