(pas de probleme, je comprends!)

I favor the direct drive theory, because if this pump can run on only 26 Watts, the motor is either awfully efficient, or it's a direct drive.

I also have a Little giant 2-MDQ-SC, which is a true mag drive, and although it'll outperform this Johnson pump by a little bit, it'll take 180 Watts to do it

.

flyingass, can you tell us if the motor drives the impeller directly, or if there's a set of magnets to isolate the motor shaft from the impeller shaft?
