I'm going to watch this thread as well.

I bought three of these pumps recently {from three different sources} and only now just fired up the first two in a rig I am building. The third will sit in a box for a couple of months.

All three pumps have been modified for 1/2" ID inlet - and I added the RPM sensor wire, so if any of the three fail, I don't expect an RMA. Still, we "modders" need to be prepared to replace the pump with a good one, if they do fail.

I had communications with Laing a couple weeks ago {Michael Solso, Greg leaverton} and I was told the pumps have been coming into the country {from Hungary, where they are made} for about a year - and that Laing has a six-figure USD inventory.} Sounds like, if there is a problem, they'll get it sorted.

While I did not measure the startup current, I highly doubt that any standard computer switching supply will fail to deliver enough current to start and run these little pumps.

Cheers,

Joe
