That is great information Marci. Thanks for posting it. Bruce at Cooltechnica told me at one time that Hydor had changed some of the parts and the mfgr process to increase profits at the expense of quality. And that the older pumps with 3 prong connector were significantly better made than the newer pumps without the ground. Personally the only pumps I've ever had problems with were: Rio submersible back in the day, Danner Mag3 leak and housing crack (fixable though), and Hydor L30 (got super noisy after ~ 30 days and this was one of the older pumps too). I've never had an incident with any other pumps I've used.
