Need a new pump

DO NOT BUY RIO!!! These pumps are junk, with a capital "J". I bought one to use with a skimmer and the piece of junk lasted less than a year. I kept it clean and it still burned up right in my tank. Try Maxi-Jet
 
Unfortunately, I have a Rio. I'm looking to replace it which is better than having it crap out on me.
I have a 225 gallon aquarium FO, if the pump helps with heating then I'm okay with that. I haven't had any issues with the Rio running my tank warm, but it's a Rio.
I think I'd like to find submersible if I can.
 
It didn't keep my water warm, it BURNED up, with smoke. These pumps are not worth the money. I have bought 2 and both fizzled within a year. Save your money and buy something else other than Rio.
 
What do they leak, it looks submersible?

Sorry for taking so long, I was out of town. They can be used either inline or submerged. If used inline, they can leak water. There are very few benefits of salt creep, but one of them is that the leaks around the O-ring tend to clog with salt and stop within a few days.
