Anyone use these powerheads for extra flow..i have 2 vortech but i would like a little more flow and i like that they are cheap and has a rotating head.

I had several a few years ago. They are pretty lame. (It's possible that they have been changed, I suppose). The rotating head either gets stuck or comes off its gear constantly. Finally started using it for my saltwater mixing bucket, but same thing happened even in that easy environment (no algae, snails, etc.).

they are pretty cool when the rotating heads are working....but inevitably, they get stuck and it's a pita trying to fix it....then it will get stuck again.
