Ideal for filter accessories

Great replacement part. As others have pointed out, you need an impeller or just take it out of the old one. I doubt its high cost and I don't blame Revain for it, let alone the manufacturer of such a simple, low powered pump.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Available in white only

This is my second sea soil pump and they are.

This is my second sea soil pump and both have worked well but only about a year or two per pump. They work fine until one day they short out and stop working :/ hopefully that never kills any of my fish

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Not the best

Works perfectly! - aquarium pumps and filters

My old engine started making a lot of noise and after cleaning it I had trouble starting it again. Replaced this part and everything works! So much quieter and restarts the first time. I wish it was cheaper but hopefully it will last as long as my original.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • volume

Quiet. Works well. Best in Aquarium Pumps and Filters

Our last pump is completely dead. The main thing that struck me about this new one is that it is so quiet when switched on compared to the other. Probably the other's kind is out of order, but we sometimes accidentally turn it off because it's on the light switch plug. Flicked the wrong switch, whoops, turn it back on. The old man gargled and gargled for several minutes, trying to force the air out of him. This one just came back and works flawlessly.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Secret

You can also buy the fan wheel separately!

The seller helpfully informed me that I need to buy an impeller that fits this motor (I am a beginner and did not understand that the small fan that draws water into the motor is not automatically localized in the engine - and it is not visible on the picture). The description says "assembly" but you need to buy the impeller separately for the motor to work. The product works great now that I have all the parts!

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Almost everything is included

Don't neglect the planned cleaning

Bought as a replacement in December 2016. I went to the water change in the tank on 12/23/2017, it didn't help. I was going to order a replacement but decided to take it apart and clean the parts including the impeller. Low and now after reinstalling it was working again. For those who say it stopped working after turning it off to clean the tank or make changes, please clean it first and then check again. I used cotton swabs to really clean the inside of the area where the impeller goes. I had

Pros
  • Provides a pleasant feeling
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Long live my Marineland Eclipse 3

The Eclipse 3 system has been running on my 29 gallon aquarium for at least 15 years. While it worked well, I knew it was time to at least replace the major parts or switch to a completely different filtration system. Marineland stopped making Eclipse systems many years ago but I find the design elegant and proven to be reliable so I thought it would be worth extending the life of my current rig. find these days I had to buy parts from many sources (be very careful with the part numbers). The…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • I'll text back

Great motor replacement for my aging Eclipse tank

Had to rush to order this to replace my motor which failed after cycling it on and off a number of times. It took less than five minutes from the mailbox to the tank. If you already have an Eclipse tank and the label on the back of the tank cover says Eclipse PFE3 then this is the motor to go for. If your pump doesn't even turn on, the motor is most likely to blame. You can keep this engine and use your existing diffuser and intake valve. It's hard to know if you've never done this before, but…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Reliability

I don't know why they call it a motor pump when nothing is pumping without an impeller and impeller housing. If this were a truly complete pump I would give it 5 stars unconditionally. However, once I run it, it runs much quieter than my original pump. I ended up using the impeller and its housing from my old pump and now I have a nice, quiet system that is exactly what I was hoping for. Years; the pump was always a bit noisy, the lid buzzed and rattled. After stumbling across them at Revain I…

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
