    A few months ago I decided to use a Viaaqua 4900 to be my return since i had already bought it, and in the beginning I had no real issues other than a bit of noise, but because my fiancee didnt mind neither did i. (i love run on sentences btw) About 2 weeks ago it got LOUD. realy really loud! I broke it down cleaned the imperller and other parts, and it did nothing. a day or two later it just made noise and didnt pump water at all. Now i have a Mag 12 and i love. Morale of the story dont cheap out!
