Hello all,
My name is Dan Neault, and I am the president of AVT International and C-systems.
I REALLY did not want to post here, but I have respect for Lee, and he asked I should say something.
First off, I do not want to get in a p*ssing contest, as a professional engineer, I beleive people should always respect other people work.
In saying that, I feel the swiftech pump is a damn nice unit, as are many other pumps on the market.
The 50,000 hr rating on our spec sheet, refer's to the motor, just as indicated. I as an engineer have no dout. The pump it self is not rated for 50,000 hours.
I can honestly tell you this, we have been using these units, in a different case, on our industrial systems, and they have gone 3 years running 24 / 7. This is the longest any of our customers have gone without a complete system overhaul, do to upgrades, not failed components. Note we use distilled water / methonal in our industrial units.
This is the best "real world" data I can offer
We offer a 1 year warrenty, and the only other offer I can make towards peoples concerns, is that I'm a person that cares about his work.
Note, this is likely the only time I will post in the forum, sorry but I have nothing but bad experiences with forums.
Thank you for your time,
Dan
