Volt meter, One lead in the water, the other to a ground point, A/C voltage... If theres voltage present, youll know it when you stick your fingers in the tank, specially if youre bare foot..

ill try voltage meter before barefoot test

according to a previous post on these, you are going to have a certain amount of voltage leak with any magnetically driven powerhead with the motor in the water.

Good idea.

No more Koralias for me... I really like the Maxi mods though, for the money they cant be beat...

you can mod a K2, K3, and K4 with the same sureflow kit... the black prop fits in the K2 and K3 and the white prop fits in the K4 (maybe the K3 too.) A white impellered K4 flows something like 3000gph.

Have you read the entire thread? Look at the pic on the first page. No Koralias for me, period, not even at a million gph. lol

seen Tunze stuff fail too.. Surges can cause stuff like that to happen too or if water drips down the line to the outlet i.e. no drip loop.

I've seen surges cause pumps to fail or freeze up. Never seen them cause the casing that is in the water fall apart like that.

Really glad now that I have the Vortech. I have zero motors in water now except my skimmer out in the garage.

Sorry, dug up an old thread here.

Yeah, I was able to eliminate two Maxi mods with the Vortech, the only one Im using now is to push flow under the rocks in a bare bottom system. Im really liking the results, Im also using a Mag 12 powered SCWD so Im getting some nice random flow in my 65...

K powerhead does move good amount of water but it has alot of issues. i just got rid mine for a pocket change. maxi w/mod wil do the jobs as well nd it is cheap and compact size u can set it behind the cave to blow poops out, super quiet. tunze is too expensive but could not do it all, i had one wanna get rid of. interested?.....
