You remember when Royal Exclusiv recalled their Red Dragon II pumps for quality control issues back in August of this year? Although the initial recall included only the 240 and 250 watt models were recalled, “every Red Dragon II Titanium pump will be affected”. Apparently some German users are having a high rate of pump impellers failing. Our German source sent us the above picture which shows a Red Dragon pump impeller that has been corroded/rusted to the point that makes the pump non operational. Also too the axles were sold as “unbreakable” (ala Titanium) with several of them reported to have broken as well (jump down below for pics). The pumps were made in China from Royal Exclusiv’s specifications, much how Apple’s products are all made in China. However, poor quality control procedures has contributed to this problem.
