heard that it will be hot.

In the box the manufacturer enclosed a warning msg printed in RED paper...

Pleae Start Pump in Water Only.

Do Not Run Pump In Air.

Bro Roidan also mentioned that some ppl in RC reported that their RIO pump caught fire... so to be on the safe side better not run it externally.

My 2 cents.

i believe they are refering to running the pump dry..all aquarium pumps cannot run dry...

in the installation guide, it is stated that it can be used externally..

it is definitely not a hot pump...in fact the temperature of my old tank dropped by 1 degreeC after i used 20hf to replace my eheim 1260..

personally, i feel that this HF series are quite well-built..low electricity consumption and high flowrate..
