Via Aqua Pumps - Good, Bad, Ugly?
 
I'm looking for opinions about Via Aqua pumps. I'm especially interested in
getting the Via Aqua 1300 for very light duty work (ie: minutes of run time
a week as part of a water change system). Does Via Aqua make decent pumps?
Or am I throwing money away by getting one?

Thanks,
Harry

I blew two of them up within three months several years ago when they
were new on the market. Pushed a lot of water in a hurry, but just built
like junk. They didn't destroy anything like many say Rio's do, so that's a
point or 5.
Some say they are currently producing pumps that are not too bad
though. I'd think even the ones I had would have served quite a number of
years worth of water changes so they should serve you well for that. To top
it off they are quite inexpensive.

Great pump, just what you want. Quit asking already!

SNIP

I asked all of the other questions before I finally got some good responses.
But thank you for everyone's input. Via Aqua it is.
