Good luck, you are better throwing them in the trash though.

Check for "Rio Taam" on an internet search, you should be able to find them.

The thing that sucks is that every LFS carries these frigin things because they are less expensive. I have had 3 of 5 of these fail within 6 months, including a Rio2500, a Rio 1400, and a Rio600v. They really do stink in my opinion. Most recently I noticed my tank was at about a 60V potential vs ground. I would stick my hand in there and get shocked. Among all the gear I have in the tank including 5 pumps, 2 heaters, chiller, protein skimmer, etc.. I knew it was the Rio return pump. Sure enough I take it out and ground the tank and the problem is gone. I don't use any in my tanks anymore. I use one for water changes and quaratine tank only.
