    I just got my new return pump in the mail, (aqua-mag 7) I heard the exposed screws are titanium can anyone confirm this?

    Not sure if they're titanium, but they are non-corrosive in saltwater (unlike the ones used in their Pondmaster line).

    Agreed - not sure what they are exactly - but I have had a mag drive for over 10 years and they have not corroded at all.
