Let's Count the Broken RIOs
Ok,
We have all heard the stories. I figured it was time to get some kind of estimate for future buyers as to what exactly to expect from the Rio pumps. So, please join me in listing the number of Rio pumps you have had fail vs. other brands. It is time to prove or disprove all the talk. Me: Rio = 4, other brands = 0 Thank you and I am sure future buyers will thank you. Tye ps- I had one shut off last night and so did kennerd that is what prompted this. |

whaddya moaning about? they're disposable!
 i've got 4-800's, 1-600, 1-90, 1-2100 (that's a backup, doesn't really count). i still like them though. i don't why. love is blind, stupid, and gullible.

It might just be me but i am starting to see a patern.
Anyone out there is the LFS or retail world have any clue why so many companies use them. Put another way: Why supply your product with a pump (a very important piece) that is known to break? Reputation is important so i guess the money must be good |

But the SPS can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the LPS Can't be happy in their shade..So the LPS formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The SPS are just too greedy;We will make them give us light." Now there's no more SPS oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the Corals are all kept equal By Reefer.. frag.. and saw. |

Rios-0/1 runs forever
MaxiJet 600-2/2 seize every 5 weeks. No pump in the world has a zero failure rate. Ty

Rios: 2 for 2
Others: 0 I just replaced my Rio 2100 return pump with a Mag 9.5. Now my other one on my Turboflotor is going. Both are only 5 mos old. TOTAL CRAP ! Why will they never restart after shutting them off ? |
