They have the new impellers, I keep the calcium at about 400ppm and keep the controller settings low to help with heat buildup that speeds up calcification.
The 7095 controller has a new setting that is supposed to help.
Is anybody running these? How long do you get between cleanings?
What are your controller settings? What is your calcium level?

I use to run 6100 on my 108 Gal and it only seized only once in one year period (twice if i count the snail that miraculously got inside working pump).
My Calcium was at 360 aprox. and controller set was at 30%-100% at full power set (all the way clockwise). All I did is soaked it in the vinegar and that’s it I really like these pumps. My controller is 7091 though.
