You know that 250 unit thing makes me wonder.

Would this require a buy of 250 of the DC MD pumps......or would they be glad to supply them as part of a order of differant types over the course of a year to one of the distributers they have?

I know of this sort of minimum yearly purchase in other areas of retail, so this may also be the case here.

It would seem to me they'd be really limiting sales of this product if you have to order a minimum of 250 per order. Not many even in industry or major retail are going to have use for so many.

Custom Aquatic is a major retailer of Iwaki pumps of all sizes to the aquarium hobbyists and industry. I wonder if they could get one of these for you as a custom order and as part of the normal volume of bussiness they do with Iwaki.

It might be worth contacting them to see. Worst thing that can happen is they say, "Sorry we can't help you".
