Rio Plus Pumps; For Aquarium, Fountains, Sump

Rio (Taam) has revamped their design of the Rio Powerhead Water Pump line for Aquariums, Fountains and small Ponds.
This new update is why the line now goes by the name of "Rio Plus Pumps".

While Rio was/is well established as the innovator of this type of powerful but small submersible water pump that can also be used in many applications including as a power head (for Sponge Filters or undergravel filters), the Rio line of pump had a few minor flaws in their impeller design that had allowed other submersible pumps to take their "crown"

However these problems have been corrected (as well as other improvements) with a very durable impeller that is second to none in their class of submersible aquarium, fountain and sump pumps. In fact the revamped Rio Plus Pumps are clearly the best pump in their class as of this articles posting.

If you are in need of a good priced/value submersible pump, especially with the excellent Via Aqua line impossible to obtain for "political" (as of this articles posting), the Taam Rio Plus line of pumps is worth a look!
