    I recently built a Close Loop using a Mag 9 and SCWD. I am not exactly impressed with the out put of the system. It is cool to have the jets turn off but the amout of output is pretty low for the amount of money I spent.

    One of the major problem I ran into was getting the input and output lines balanced so that the pump would not captivate (sp?) or chatter. All said and done I probably spent roughly $80 dollars on just PVC piping and tubing. I actually built two different inputs and outputs before I found a set-up that worked. I spent several weeks just designing, building, gluing and testing everything before I found some that was just OK.

    Between the cost of the piping, pump and SCWD, I could have bought some really nice high output power heads that I could have just installed and enjoyed from day one.
