Did a search of forums but didn't see what i was looking for. Whats the opinions of electric water pumps? Good, better, bad some reviews talk of leaking and not being able to stop it.  Thinking I should make the switch but not sure what too, don't want to be ordering more than once with the cost of freight.

What is the advantage of an electric water pump? Is it just the reduction of a slight amount of power it takes to run it?

I would rather have electric fans than an electric waterpump.
