Not properly prefiltering any pump will cause rapid impellerhousing wear and early death
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The large sponge prefilter that comes with the pump is fair protection but a better prefilter is the ati 5 pro sponge filter which allows less restricted flow and larger surface area to extend time between cleanings
