The Fuzion uses flat rubber seals instead of o-rings. These seals are a product
of injection molding, unfortunately, not all molding slag is removed prior to WB
assembly. The bottom plate seal isn't critical since it is not exposed to water.
However, the inner side of the top seal is completely exposed to water flow.

So, if you plan to purchase a D-Tek, I would suggest you dissasemble it and
remove the slag before installation.

Unless you want this crap in your pumps impeller:

That oughta be an eyeopener.

Have you tried it out yet? Is it low restriction? I am thinking about downsizing the pumps in my builds...$100 for the MCP 655 is killing me...

Whadday think would a Petra modded d-2 or 3 do it with a Fuzion?

Yeah, it's way low restriction, that Petra modded DDC+ should be just the ticket.

Hey, the original Apogee Extreme had the same problem with mill tailings and broken pins.
And the Fuzion runs top of the world after clean up.
