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.

I got mine to start of a pair of 6 volt batteries in series when I was testing it, even though the voltage drooped to 10 volts
