Hi all, GREAT forum

I went out to check the skimmer basket the other day and noticed the Aquascape model SFA4500 pump was making a whining noise.
I disconnected the pump to check for obstructions, there were none, and put the pump back in place.
The noise was still there

I then checked the invoice from my landscaper and found out the warranty ran out 2 days earlier

I did some searching and found out the Aquascape models are energy hogs and don't last long.
Can anyone reccomend a replacement pump?
Please help me choose a new pump before this pump dies and I lose all my fish.
Thank You, Phil
