all products will have some failure rate, be it ever so small
that there are 'isolated' failures does not ipso facto make the product a failure
its a question of percentages, the pump heads at 30+% (initially !) represented a product (application) failure - the pump was fine in systems with no inlet restriction (NPSH)
the remaining problem is electrical (hall effect sensor I suspect, will not start reliably if one sensor goes out)
these are the defectives that I'm getting back at 1 - 2/mo
"I don't hear any bad experiences from our customers regarding the AQX-50Z, too bad you did/do."
you phraseology is cute, I know nothing about the AQX-50Z, have never commented about it, and have heard nothing about it
I am talking about the MCP600 as sold by Swiftech
DD, don't sweat it
I am among the rudest here, I just get it back occasionally (deserved or not, lol)
your assessment is correct, Swiftech will trade a bit of performance (and noise even) for increased reliability
while Swiftech has been involved in WCing from the onset where everything was a DIY adaptation, the present intent is to provide a comprehensive solution of balanced components having those features relevant to WCing performance
but you can't cool if the system fails, reliability is now #1 here - even at somewhat higher pricing
