I am not sure just how long I have been useing this pump but it has been used on several sea water tanks, lots of freshwater tanks and just recently on a large Vivarium.
It is a standard three speed central heating pump fitted with an Aquaturn conversion, basically a moulded polythene front housing.
I think it is about 30 years old but might 25 - 35.
Anyway it finely stopped working tonight, it was extreamly hot, is now seized up and has a substantial crack!
The pump has run faultlessly, it is super quiet, near silent on the low setting, but it is quite hight wattage compared to an average aquarium pump.
The aquaturn looks fine so I will just get a new pump tomorrow and see if that one will outlast me!
