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"

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!
