Based on the date of my first post, I have had these pumps running for about a year and a half now. In that time, I’ve only had two hiccups, which were actually the same issue. Basically, the power in the area glitched for half a second or so and when the pumps restarted, one of the errored out and stopped. However, the other started up and my tank at least ran at half flow until I got home and discovered what happened. Again, there have only been two instances of this happening in the last year and a half. Other that that, they have been performing extremely well. They are still running extremely silent and their flow is just as powerful as it was on day one. I can tell because I have not touched my herbie overflows and the pumps are still on the same setting to keep them submerged. I do regular water changes on my tank every week where they are shut down while I drain and refill the tank and sump. So far, they have started back up without issue each week.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with these pumps, especially given their price compared to other brands.

If anyone has any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Thank you
Is the warranty 1 year?

 

[Wolfen]

also do we have to manually turn it on if it turned off automatically for some reason ?

 

[Fish Tank Travis]

I’m not sure about the warranty. I’ve never had to try to use it.

If the pump does error out for some reason, in my case a glitch in the power grid, you will have to unplug the pump and plug it back in to restart it.

i wonder if a surge protector would eliminate this

I have a surge protector on it. I’m not sure why it does it. It only does it if the power glitches really quickly though. If it goes out and comes back on a few seconds, minutes, hours later, then there is no problem.

Did you hard pipe or use braided tube?

I'm going to use 1.25" pvc, along with the slip adapter provided, but I don't understand if I'm supposed to glue my pvc into the black adapter or not?

 

[Fish Tank Travis]

You do have to glue the PVC into the adapter. Make sure you use a glue that is made for PVC to ABS connections. I glued in a short bit of pipe and installed shut off valves on each of mine before using 1” vinyl tubing and barb fittings to go up to the tank.
