Just wondering who here has had a pump faileure in there water cooled system. If so what kind of pump was it and how long did you use it before it died. I have been using my Maxi-Jet 1200 for close to 6 months running almost 24/7 without any problems.

Lost two Rios in a matter of weeks. Outside of my own stupidity induced problems when I first started using Danners, they have be rock solid.

Colin perhaps you know a little about my Danner pump. It is a Danner 1.9 but thats all I know about it. How many GPH is this pump? I looked at Danners website but they didn't have it listed. I may switch the Maxi-Jet in my current system for the danner just to give it a try.

Here's the flowrate vs. head height chart for the Danners.

I guess its the biggest 200 GPH pump made then. Still 190, 175, 150 GPH @ 1-3 feet doesn't seem to bad. Does anyone know the flow rate of a Maxi-Jet 1200 at different hights.
