Iwaki Clone

Delirious · 10-12-2004, 10:39 AM

I ran into THESE
while looking for an Iwaki. Here are some of the claims

* Cost effective. Compare to Iwaki
* Energy Efficient. Much more efficient - starting at only 20 watts
* Quiet. Quieter than Iwaki
* Sealed Motor. For long-lasting pump life. Can last over ten years.
* Pressure Rated. Stands up to the best. Again, compare charts to the Little Giant 5MDQ, Iwaki and GRI
* Standardized Plumbing. Uses 1" in and 1" out threaded fittings.

They also claim it was designed by a chief iwaki engineer who left iwaki.

What do u guys think?

and it was up to me to identify the problem and suggest the fix for that smaller pump
the grass is always greener . . .
or is it familiarity breeds contempt ?

those pumps are said to be designed by one of the engineers that designed the iwakis ... (the jap ones) ...

that's what i heard.

Actually when i was reading the title i thought blueline.

It says that it performs the same as the Iwaki, however when i compared them it looks like the iwaki (md20rl has a slight edge to the blueline hd20.

Another nice thing is that blueline says it has a 5 year parts and labor warranty, and that the pump can last up to 10+ years, which is obviously debatable.
