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.

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
