AQX-50Z is rev. 2 , no bearing issues here.

ok, you are wrong here.
My statement was in response to your statement about the "thousands of dollars":

That was spent on the rev 1 pump head/bearing issue, EXACTLY as i said, and as Bill says:

ok?

Let me clarify one thing, D4 is not a poor performer, and it's a good pump. It's just a tad bit noisy to my ears. Regardless of manufacturer's MTBF claim, if I'm not mistaking Swiftech also offers 2 yrs warranty on the D4.

So?
2 year warranty != 50,000 hour MTBF.
No one is trashing your pumps! They are only saying they are NOT AS RELIABLE AS THE LIANG D4.
To argue otherwise is sheer stupidity on your part.

And one last thing:

So then you say:

No, he is not! Hello? For the reading impaired, Bill is saying that 50% OF THE FAILED PUMPS exibit this issue (erratic start/stop), not 50% of all the pumps swiftech sold. So no, I don't see this as Bill describing the pump as a failure.
How do you?

Stop projecting so much, jeez...
