10% of the time working Rio 1700 pump, NC make an offer

I have had it with this POS. It works probably about 10% of the time. When you finally get it working it will run until you unplug it. Then, you have to take it out, take it apart, put it back together, cross your fingers and then you have about a 1 in 10 shot that it will work again. If you keep messing with it, it will eventually work but I dont have the patience to put up with it. Can you tell Im not a salesman. Make an offer, I will ship it out of here!

I know this sounds stoopid, but it's a stoopid product: Try taking it out of the water, and smacking it with your free hand. Works every time when my seio's stop. If you don't know, Seio's are really just Rio's with a different impeller prop.

I feel your frustration. I trashed a ridculous number of rios a few years back.

Damn! I wish I would have thought of that as I was trashing 11 1700'a and 2100's. I could have had a friggin "Rio bash-off".
