Gen-X pump question


Hey all, I was wondering if the Gen-X external pumps are good? Are they noisy? do they hold up? I am looking at a Gen-X pcx 70. it has 1650 GPH and is fairly cheap. I just wanted to hear some reviews.

I just bought one, and currently have it in use on my CLS. Same brand, same exact model.

Mine runs a little hot, but nothing a fan won't fix.

As for noise level...well, think it's based on tolerance.

My g/f thinks it's loud. Me? I think it's hearable, but not annoying loud, or anything.

I do think the PCX-70 is a bit noiser than the model below it, but not so much that it's overbearing.

But again, my g/f would disagree.

As for it lasting? don't know...only had mine running for a few weeks now.

All in all, VERY happy with it. My ONLY complaint is that the output nozzle doesn't point straight up. It points up and out at about 45 °. So if space is tight, you're gonna have some problems.

Other than that, it's a good pump for the price.
