Yes, seven years.....and here is my justification for not stomping around like a two year old with a tantrum. I purchased four Koralia Evolution 1400 powerheads a number of years ago, and I think the last one died at about a years time. That was a $50 year per powerhead. I now had this...
The MP10 and MP40 are designed differently. The MP10 magnet, plate and impeller are intergral components,
while the MP40, everything is its own separate part. It can be totally taken apart.
Ed, I shouldn't be complaining.....seven years on this magnificent powerhead from Ecotech Marine.....seven! When you have seven years on that Gyre, we'll talk! If you wish, I'll send you an empty box to collect all the broken parts you'll collect over the next six years. After this six...
John, I was surprised to see this.....that is, the magnets available. I remember a number of years ago someone cracking their magnet, and not being able to purchase just the magnet.

I did all the cutting on the stile and the canopy and stand and glued and screwed the face frame together. I'm going to like this! Here it's just resting in place.
Now, should I start building the box, or the doors? I'm afraid if I build the doors first, I'll call it done....it does...
Equipment Cabinet - Finally!
If you go back to my very first post in this build thread, I posted a "to-do list," and number one on that list was to build the equipment cabinet.....that post is dated November 29, 2010. I'm just getting around to building it now, over five years later. In...
