This is cool info. I have the Diablo 3500 that I put on my skimmer instead of heat pumping Mag 9. I am wondering if I should get a bigger pump, as I don't feel like this one is equivalent. Can someone measure how long the 5500/10500 is without the protective screen. Everyone seems to have that info with that screen included. Thanks!

Id like to have the 5500 for my return pump. Its $219. The return pump im running now is brand new though so until i get a magic money tree.

Well i might pick one up in a couple months and make the current pump an emergency back up as i dont have a back up return pump and im sure thats ONE pump you need a back up on hand at all times for..
