Will the screws rust? they use screws for the cover? And I have seen S steel rust
thanks guys, just wanted to make sure. I have a mag 9.5 i wanted to use for me return, wasn't sure if i should just get a diff pump. I would like to use it as an external, but am to scared to drill the sump
Yeah, I like the pumps. I used one for 11 years straight (fresh water), non stop, except for two moves and it wasn't shut down for more than a day. It was used as an external, I like the option of external or submersable. I think I have an idea to use it as an "external" without drilling my sump. I am going to mount a plastic container in the sump with a bulk head in it. That way the pump isn't in the water and it's inside the glass box. We'll see.
Is this in an attempt at trying to prevent it from heating the water?
Yes, I will rather not add any extra heat. It is always cheaper to heat than to cool, in any app.
Another thing that came to mind as well is maybe put a small fan on the pump to cool it. Should help some.
