Aqua Medic DC Runner

[ReefHog]

Does anybody run this pump? I want to replace my dual Eheim pumps with DC models so I can control them from my Apex. I can get two of these pumps for the price of one Varios. They have a 0-10v connection for an external controller but I can't find any info on how/how well they work with an Apex. Does anyone know the quality of these pumps? Are they made in Germany?

I don't know where they are made. But I used one in an Aqua Medic Turbofloater 5000 skimmer. I bought it used a couple of years old and I used it for an additional 5 years. The skimmer is now gone (plastic turned brittle) but the pump lives on mixing my saltwater for water changes.

I’d be happy to get five + good years out of a DC pump.
