So I just happened to be looking at reviews of the return pump and skimmer feed pumps I purchased for my 180. They are the Octopus Water Blaster 3000 & 7000. I noticed some folks were saying they had some seize up issues after owning them for a while. The manufacturer recommended regular vinegar baths for the pumps. It never occurred to me that I should regularly soak my pumps in vinegar to keep them running right. Made me wonder what else I should be doing that I am not.
Also, makes me want to buy a spare pump to make maintenance easier.
