Switching to water!

Now you got me scared lol

I just picked up a 511. It seems completely different from the 501 so I'm hoping this one is built a little tougher. What broke on yours? Also, all the 501's by me had two spray bars in the package and no intake tube? It had a spray bar, and then another one they wanted you to use as the intake? Was yours like this as well, or did they just have the wrong parts in them? I bought the 501 first, but had to take it back because of that reason. All of the 511's had the right parts so I just went with that one.

Not to scare you but they are mostly the same.
Mine came with one intake and one bar. It shouldnt have had two.
The impeller broke. Its made super cheap. I rigged mine to work but they send me another one in the mail.

I wish i would have looked over it more before i bought it. It just doesnt make since. The water goes through the ceramic, carbon, then the sponge. All other filters do the process reversed with keeps the filter from clogging.
So far its still trucking. I will try to keep an open mind but i wouldnt recommend them.

I just looked over the 511 and it seems alittle more robust than the 501. It doesnt say anything about the filter process. Is it the same?

Petsmart is removing from inventory their Rena products and is discounting leftover stuff. Got new XP1 canister filter yesterday for $29.95 plus tax!

You guys got lucky. I went to 6 stores and nada.
The guy at my petsmart said all of the employees bought them all.

Yeah, my stores didn't have anything worth while either...

@Jcal I didn't open the canister of the 501 because I had to return it, but the 511 has three chambers. Two sponge chambers, and one for the carbon/biomax.
