[Neal358]

why do so may larg companis use rio,s on their skimmers and chilles and all kinds of other aquarium equioment if their so bad. because it would directaly efect their product that their selling??

One word...CHEAP

[dnjan]

Second word - compact. The RIO's pack a respectable amount of flow into a very small footprint. Many manufacturers don't want their equipment to seem bulky (and not fit in some spaces), so the RIO's seem a good choice. Unfortunately, some of the compromises that were used to pack that power into a small volume are now appearing to be problems. (the reef tank version of Ford Explorers and Firestone???)

[Neal358]

but unlike ford theis larg companes like aquamedic and cpr 2 of the bigest skimmer manufactures will defend their choise of water pump. i have the turbo floter and would ahve paid without a problem an extra 10-20 to get a better pump

Jason at AquaC says, "we stick with the Rios for many reasons, and customer satisfaction is one of them".

I hate Rios. Mine totally sucked, really loud and had to be shaken to start.

I wish they would get a clue! RIOS SUCK!
