Polario controlable powerheads

jbird69 · 12/30/2009, 09:36 PM

I have been looking at these pretty closely for my new 120g corner tank I will be setting up. Has anyone been using one for any length of time that can give me a review?

I did a RC search and found a great discussion but no one had one running for any real length of time. Looks like a great controllable pump!

I never even heard of them until this post.

Me neither. Seems like a good price for a lot of flow. I will admit the picture makes it look kind of cheap to me, but maybe i'm wrong. I want to tag along anyways to see if anyone else has used these.

The few threads Ive found on them indicate they defintly do as advertised. Im curious about noise and reliability ovr time.

Its pretty cool the way they alternate flow between the two heads. I would think you could get a crazy, disorganized flow once it starts rolling. And 5500 gph!!?

Looks like they are a little cheaper at Champion Lighting:

I think a lot of people are wary of this product because its..a Rio.

Not exactly a popular name around here

Neat idea for a pump though.
