Thank youBased 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.
i wonder if a surge protector would eliminate thisI’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 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.i wonder if a surge protector would eliminate this
Did you hard pipe or use braided tube?Based on the date of my first post, I have had these pumps running for about a year and a half now.
