Mag 12- Good Investment

General

Very well made pump; just be careful when taking them apart to do maintenance and the pump will last you a very long time.

Liked about it

Nicely made return pump for fresh or salt water. Quiet running, easy to operate, no moving parts (other than impeller), and they do not take up a lot of room in your sump. Heat output is minimal compared to other pumps. I have run them internally and externally in my set-ups for a number of years now on my salt water tanks. I also have not met anyone locally that had one just stop working, they are built tough.

Didn't like

There are only two parts I do not like about the pump. First is the cover for the impeller. It is a nice design but, I would like to see them made of a stronger material as I tend to break them and have to order new ones. The second is the screw threads. If you over tighten them they strip easily or break off the pump.

Good compact pump for not too much money

General

Overall this is a pretty good pump. It's fairly inexpensive, had a very small footprint considering it's high output and doesn't generate a lot of noise. In fact when installed with a little something to absorb sound (mouse pad or similar material) you can't really hear it from a few feet away. The only concern I have is that it may be putting off a bit of heat. I need to run more tests to confirm this, but my tank temp did go up after I installed this pump. Other than that it's a good pump for the price.
