Happy New Year all!
I wanted to see if I could get some opinions on pumps and circulators.
Pumps: I have 2 Eheim 1262's pumping up from my sump in the basement. I have 2 for redundancy. They work fine but get calcified to where I have to do a vinegar soak on the impellers every 6 months at a minimum which is a pain but necessary. Given the maintenance they are reliable but I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on something else?
Circulators: I currently have a pair of Vortech MP 40's in my display. One of them is starting to make noise on the dry side and I suspect its a bearing issue which I may look to fix myself. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on Tunze 6055. People on the boards swear by them. I have tried the knock offs but the impellers tend to get calcified and seize up. Are these any different?
Thank you in advance.
