The problems don't seem to be a big deal though, just get a replacement shaft...they seem to be fine after that. I bought a Vertex IN80 in January I think it was when J&L had them on 25% off. That's enough for me to give it a try! I think one of the biggest things is to simply clean the motor before using it the first time, which is something I do with all my pumps anyway. I suppose it would suck if you
needed that skimmer working pronto, but I've never had that
need (I don't run one at all right now), so I'm not too worried about a late start up when it comes time to actually put it to use.
