rio rotator attachments???


Has anyone tried the rotator attachments for the rio pumps. They seem to have two nozzels which rotate changing the direction of the water flow. Cheap too.

Are they too good to be true??

I used them quite a while ago, they work for the price. major drawbacks are that they cut the flow quite a bit and my biggest problem (and why I took them out) is that they take up a huge amount of space. hth

tried both sizes ,,,both the double-duckbill rotators,,,they were ok for the money,,,,,the one for the larger size RIO did not work as well as it should. both tended to lock up early on,,,and if they lasted long enuf,,,,WORE OUT !!! they need to redesign them,,,,something about rotating pieces of plastic wearing on each other,,, not to mention, they were REAL distracting while running in the tank,,you eyes went to them instead of the inhab's of the tank. everyone that saw my tank , asked about the RIO rotator b4 what was in the tank.....gave them a honest try(had bought 3,,,would give them a thumbs down though
