    Disaster & Prevention UL listed

    Rio pumps are UL listed. I am a happy user of Rio pumps if I get burned by them i'll let you know. I think that a ground fault would be required to melt anything and a blown GFCI is my worst risk.

    Tanks, Sumps & Refugiums Tank Placement

    Place larger tanks perpendicular to the floor joists so the tank sits across more of them. Next to load bearing walls is also a good idea. Google it there is lots of info on the net!
