Received the Sicce pump I purchased from Expo703. He advertise it for sale on this for him as a well-maintained pump. Upon receipt I found it to be disgustingly dirty. I put it in a bucket of water and plugged it in and it wouldn’t even start to run. I had to disassemble it and remove the impeller and there was so much crap caked everywhere internally that in my opinion this pump was never cleaned. After cleaning it I was able to get it to run but the impeller and other internal parts are so worn that it just wobbles around while spinning, has a horrible vibration and it’s incredibly loud. It’s unusable. I reached back out to the seller via IM and at this point he has not responded. I am currently working with PayPal to try and get my money back.

I have purchased a few items from sellers on this forum and never had an issue till now. Glad it was only $80 and not $800
