I take it that you found the picture elsewhere and this is not personal experience?

Hmmm so that would be bad.

This is my picture of my pumps.
Thank goodness the puddle was still very small when I discovered it. Water was dripping from the melted down pump housing. Both pumps are Mag2's. The pump is used to circulate water in my calcium reactor.
