Mag Drive Pumps
I've used the mag 3, 5, 7, 9.5, and 12. They work ok but must be cleaned in vinegar every few months to prevent calcium buildup. You MUST change the stainless screws used on these pumps. The "stainless" screws will rust away in your system and cause you lots of grief. A freakin mag 5...

Other than the potential problem of rusting screws, I enjoyed the Mag Drive I used as a return pump. For the price, not many pumps can compare. I had no issues with vibration or sound levels. It also started up flawlessly after power outages.

From my experience with outboard motors, the bigger problem with metal in salt water is electolysis. Outboard motors utilize sacrificial anodes. The metal screws must corrode the same way.
