re: Iwaki rd___ pump

This is the samy guy I bought mine (RD30) from (direct sale). Glad to hear the water does not touch aluminum -that was my only other reservation. The spec sheet does claim 40 dba.

I also noticed someone's claim here about running the pump at a reduced voltage...sure you can do that (I intend to vary the speed of mine) but it will still take near full voltage to start the motor due to the onboard electronics. I just hope noone overlooks that.

Sorry, I bid against you. I didn't know someone from here was bidding on it (I have since read the "Look what I found" post from someone linking to it. I have had an auto-alert on ebay for these for months. I called my local distributor several times (even tried to strong-arm him with OEM buying power to no avail -Iwaki barely gave him any more break. Our bid war cost us both...oh well, It was still a good deal and mabye a once in a lifetime...
