I have to say, that I have dealt with 3 scwd's. I thought they were great and cheap way to give some more random flow in the tank.

I made a newb mistake with one, put it in place where I couldnt take it out to clean it. It failed in 5 months.

The second one was on my friends tank. I think he had it running for 9 months. When we moved his tank, the scwd was only allowing water out 1 side. So it was no longer working. I dont think he ever cleaned it either.

I had a second scwd on my tank to replace the first. It also failed within 4 -5 months. I even TRIED to clean it every month or so. But like I said, its not easy to clean. I was only able to rinse it out with vinegar and water...

Anyways, just my experiences with the product. Perhaps my T4 pump was too powerful for it. I dunno.
