My Mag 12 B return pump has open housing:
Even if it needs to be replaced I am happy. Got Apex alerts overnight that temp was 83 and salinity was almost 41 and worried Apex energy bar and/or other equipment was messed up. Turns out return pump was not pumping. Went to school expecting a bleaching event, but all was well thanks to Tunze circulation pumps and I am just running sumpless at the moment and may need to reset the fuge. Could have been so much worse!
So, I use Mag drive pumps for everything but have never seen one open where there is no fastener. Did water go in and rust it and it is bulging? Do I need to toss it? It has been my return pump for about 3-3.5 years, I think.
