I installed a 4 way last fall which was purchased new at the time and it was shaft driven.

yeah, that looks right, sorry my bad. The smaller version doesn't disassemble the same way so you don't see the shaft attachment, I was assuming that was what was meant by shaft driven. So does the smaller version use weaker magnets?

Proportionally yes, they use different strength magnets and flux collectors, not to be confused with flux capacitors

So when you say smaller version do you mean the 1000 gph or less Squirt is the smaller one? And the up to 2500 gph Super Squirt is the larger one? And the 1000 gph one doesn't work as well?
