Cons

It almost seems that amazon is slipping a bit in customer satisfaction from 2 years ago. The only thing good about these is the warranty.

Each time, the problem is with the ceramic bearing in the base. After several months, it loosens and begins to rotate along with the impeller. This gouges out the bearing seat and finally breaks the ceramic shaft of the impellor.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not properly prefiltering any pump will cause rapid impellerhousing wear and early death
