I have used these, even back when I was a kid with fresh water.

I bought one about a year ago, it broke, motor seized after a couple uses... Exchanged it and the second did the same. They are a piece of junk now compared to the old models.

They do a great job, when they work, I just think the quality of build is garbage now. Maybe you can find a better model? If so, let us all know.

I don't know about the newer models. Mine is an old timer and never a problem with it. I make sure I always run some FW through it though. I can see SW seizing it up.
