The general concensus is turning a pump on and off with a relay is bad news, and the reasoning is good. What I want to know is who has had a pump die on them due to this (I know you can't prove it for sure), especially if it was a higher quality pump such as Eheim or Danner. No doubt the life of the pump is shortened... but if it goes from 10 years to 5... well, you get my point.
It's not a general consesus, it's still highly debated (case in point!)

Why don't you explain your view on the situation, then we'll try to come to a logical conclusion...
