new seio prop powerhead

[jrockwater]

has anyone seen this new powerhead by seio. i saw it a couple days ago. http://riopump.net/new_products_folder/seioprop_desc.html

[kdblove_99]

yeah they look sweet.

I asked on the PA forum but havnt gotten any replies

[twon8]

500 gph? that is worthless for how large that is

[kdblove_99]

Didnt seem that big to me. Smaler than a Koralia 2 with about the same GPH?

[hyperfocal]

What is it with Taam and the video-camera look? Someone there must *really* love their security cameras...

[kdblove_99]

I kinda liked the look.

BTW cool avatar and i like there names

[jrockwater]

it's true that it only puts out 500 gph but taam indicated they will have others available. also i've had a seio superflo for over a year now and i haven't have any problem nor have i had to replace any parts. my mjmod put out much more flow but it broke down alot. it the seio is nothing it's reliable.

[kdblove_99]

Yeah, Got an answer it is 500GPH and $39.99 and looks like PA is taking phone pre orders.

I might just get it to try it out but it seems like the Koralias you get More GPH for less $$ and about the same amount of wattage

[smatter]

Looks like a Rio.

[chris4869]

I think their Polario power head looks better. Sorry for the huge image.

[jrockwater]

how much do the polarios cost?

[kdblove_99]

Alot.

Polario 3500 - $279

Polario 5500 - $339

Do the new prop pumps work with the seio controller?

[dhnguyen]

So basically it's a SEIO with a propeller instead of that stupid impeller they used, it's still the same pump overall. A little late to join the propeller pump market IMO.

[smatter]

And it's a Rio.

[SPACEMANS2]

YOU'VE GOT TO BE A NIEVE NEWBIE OR INSANE TO SPENT THAT MUCH ON A POLARIO

[mandm25254]

why the polario has alot of GPH and is controllable and is less then the tunze or vortec so why would you need to be such a "nieve newbie or insane to buy one"? also im also sure one pumps 5k gph and the other 10k gph no other pump does that other then the 6301 i think

[Craig Lambert]

That is useless flow from a propeller pump. Might work well on a 20G tank, if you don't mind it taking up 25% of the tank's space.

[chris4869]

$279/$339 for a SEIO! That's nuts. :eek1:

[twon8]

is the polario even available?

[smatter]

I wouldn't say 5000gph is useless.

[Duce]

The things come with controller hence the price.....mind you the controller only controls one pump so IMO it is a bit of a waste....

[kdblove_99]

Yeah, I think the biggest thing even more than the price is the real estate this thing will take up. Looks big

[Racing1]

They are 9.5" long by 3"... Not that big if you put them on the back wall of a tank behind the rockwork.....

Not too bad and would take up less room than a TUZE WAVE BOX and costs less.......

I saw a polario plumbed externally at macna a couple of years back, and it looked awesome. Massive flow, and it can change directions on a dime.

Not for me, but it IS innovative. I could see one internally at the base of the back wall of a tank. Would really provide some nice flow and get the detritus moving.
