Need replacement pump for automatic water changer
Well my Rio 2100 finally gave out. I had heard about all the problems with the Rio's after i bought mine. I never had any problems with it for the 5 years it has been used. All of the impeller parts swelled up and siezed inside the pump not allowing it to turn. So i'm in the market for a new submersible pump. It has to be able to start up and pump new saltwater up 6ft into and across the attic down to my tank for a total length of about 60ft all in a 3/8id tubing. The Rio did it just fine for many years. I want something reliable but inexpensive. I was thinking about the Rio 12 hf or back to the 2100.
Is there any better pumps for the same price? skeeter

Well at $34.95 i guess the Rio 2100 is the best bet.
