Thumbs down Tunze made these????

I'm curious to hear from people who have owned these for longer than 4 months.

I got 2 6025's last February and within 3 months the impeller was rusted. I returned them to J&L with no issues and got new ones. I've now had these ones running for 5 months and despite being extremely careful when handling the pumps, the plastic tabs on 1 have broken off and the clamp on the other just shattered in my hands. On top of that both impellers have started to rust again.

There were rumors that the some of the first batch were defective but I'm beginning to wonder if the whole design is flawed. I'm going to return these one's the next time I'm down at the coast but I really don't want to be doing this every 3-5 months until the warranty ends.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or am I just incredibly unlucky?
