I don't believe that your pump is piston driven, I just meant it as an example. Your pump is direct driven, meaning that the motor shaft drives the impeller directly. Your impeller is probably sealed in some type of housing attached to the end of the electric motor. If you look closely, you can probably see the motor shaft.
A mag driven pump doesn't have a motor shaft, it moves a shaft by magnetic induction. (the advantage of which is electric isolation from the fluid). The shaft is completely encased in its own housing, which is surrounded by electric coils.

Ya i know about the thermal protection
Ya I just thought you thought it was piston driven. And I didnt know why.
i guess Ill have to deal with it. Till I can get a Ehiem, or Danner.
But its a good pump, should last awhile, and after I get a better one, I can use this one to drain the pool
