When the price became so cheap. I don't think I have any equipment from 10 years ago. My Tunze 6060 just died recently and that was about 10 years old. All my gen 1 vortechs are long dead. Even the old maxijet 1200s which can take a pounding and a half and run dry forever didn't last 10 years.

If you can buy 3 jeabo pumps for less then 1 vortech and the vortech lasts 5 years and the jeabos last 2 they are a better deal. Really there is not much in this world that is electronic that lasts 10 years, let alone things that function in salt water.
