Any problems using the Water Blaster pump long term?

Looking at the HY5000. I love that it lists at only 60watts. What do you users say? Mainly interested in noise and restarting. thanks

I have had my HY7000 running since September. The pump is very quiet. I shut it down and restart it at least once a week. I have had no problems with it restarting. I will be replacing my mag9 in my FOWLR with a WB pump wrote too long.

What size is the output of the 5000? looks kinda big. Possible to use 1" or 3/4" tubing?

Did you go with the Water Blaster?

How quiet is it? Can you compare it to other pumps you know of? Did you use something else?
