Review on 🌊 Enhanced Maxspect XF350 Gyre Pump with Advanced Controller Package for Ultimate Wavemaking by Michelle Kelley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

HORRIBLE PRODUCT EXCELLENT JUST WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

If you're looking for factory defective pumps (confirmed by the company who emailed them to me) that keep clogging and are COMPLETE GARBAGE, look no further. They are terribly designed. The ribs rub against the edge of the shield, causing seizure and engine seizure. Calcium builds up (due to poor sealing) on the inside of them for a week or two and causes the pumps to stop turning. They clog so badly that the bushing (the part that's supposed to act as a kind of bearing) literally starts spinning in the rubber bushing that holds it. It will come to the point that the bushing and rubber will practically not wear out. Also, the pump body rubs against the magnet, which causes pieces of the magnet (metal, which is TERRIBLE for an aquarium) to wear out and end up in your precious water. It will score both the impeller magnet and the motor housing, which may affect durability or functionality. I've been emailing the company (Coral Vue. which is obviously full of illogical jerks) for months and all they offer is store credit so you can buy more junk from them that doesn't work and may Failure will damage your entire system. Crash. So, unless you spend hours and hours every week or two cleaning your pumps, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING CORAL VUE PRODUCTS!

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than other picks
