I just bought a pump less than a month ago used and I have had it running for 5 days. I got a panicked call from the house saying the living room was flooded! Needless to say I got home and the pump was broken wich caused a back flow. And yes I was about to install precautions to stop a back flow. I need to know if anyone can help me? does anyone have a high powered pump they would be willing to trade that woun't break?

If you hurry, I believe Fishy Business and River City Aquatics are still open. Their contact information is under the sponsors section on the main forum page.

RCA closes at 8 I think but shane is usually at fishy business until 9:00 and he carries mag drive pumps up to a mag9 I think.

The Impeller is cracked in half! YAY for buying used! I called RCA and they have a MAG 18. I would pick it up tonight but they close in 15mins and I'm in killeen. I have a 1300gph powerhead in the tank pushing so I should be ok overnight.
