I purchased my Maxi-1200 5 years ago and use it 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I have not replaced any parts. When it stops working once a month, I clean it, put it back together, turn it back on until the next time.

This powerhead is built like a tank. I've been using it for a while now and it works just as good as the day I bought it. It is very powerful, doesn't make much noise, and my fish love it! (especially rubberlip plecos) I'm currently using it to drive my homemade water polisher. Here's how to create one yourself using this powerhead: 1. Take a small container such as a plastic yogurt container (keep the lid!), rubbermaid container, etc.. and cut a hole in the top lid so that the end of the powerhead intake will fit inside snugly. 2.Fill the container with polyester batting (can be found in the fabric section of stores). A huge bag costs $3 or less and will last forever! 3. Close the lid and stick the end of the powerhead intake through. 4. Turn it on and you are good to go! It makes your water crystal clear, and it continues to create lots of turbulence. Serves as a dual purpose now! Just change out the polyester batting after it gets really dirty.

After reading many recomendations for this pump I decided to buy it. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
