AquaEuroUSA Pumps
I was curious what experiences people have had with the AquaEuroUSA pumps.
I just got a couple from a fellow reefer for a very good price. Thanks.

You'll need to pop off the back and check for exposed metal. Many of their pumps have had an exposed heat sink that will rust.

They really tried to make them work, but it seems like no matter what they do the pump's rust. There pretty junky imo. If you get a recirc i would suggest running it external to overcome the problem.

They arent as bad as many reefers made them out to be. I had one that had small exposed metal and I epoxied it myself. Took 10 minutes to do and one day to cure, then it was fine.

Thanks for the heads up on the exposed metal. I will take a look before I put it into use.
FWIW, I'm planning on using one as a return for my SW tank and the other as a pump in my garden pond.
