When you took it apart, did you find it filled with
"dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime
lubrication of the bearings"?

The Little Giants definitely have oil in them. I quit using them for that
reason.

The mag style pumps are far cheaper to operate and have no oil to harm pond
or plants. And except for a couple of easy to replace parts seem to last
forever.
