Ecotech M2

[Steven91]

I was looking at upgrading my Danner Mag-Drive 12 return pump to the Ecotech M2, was wondering how everyone liked them and how easy they are to take apart and clean. My display is a 120 gal, so the M2 will have enough gph for my tank.

I've only had Ecotech pumps over the past four years. I've been using the M1 entirely for my display and now the M2. Ecotech sent me a new pump about two years in because it just stopped working --- not sure why. They sent a paid return label, and in a few days, I got a new pump back. So, first irritated that it stopped working but was excited to see that their customer service was really cool -- they even replaced the M1 with an M2!
As per cleaning, the pump is solidly built but easy to take apart with only a few titanium screws. I run it in 50/50 HCL/Water mixture to clean.
