Where I'm at the CM30P7 looks like the perfect buy since the MCP600 basically is unavailable in the entire EU and the Iwaki are very rare and/or very expensive, but before I order I figured I'd ask you for advice.
Owners and users of the Johnson CM30P7 pump please share your experience regarding quality, noise and performance? |

Bah! Ignore me, I just finished the Johnson thread and found out about the low MTBF rating on the CM30P7.
![]() Ah well, back to the drawing board. |

How does it perform? Well, it is extremely powerful, compact and built like a tank. Contrary to what the manufacturer would lead you to believe, it does not run hot (33 degrees C for the motor housing).
But it does have that limited 2500 hrs. MTBF, and it is a bit noisy --a bit like the Laing 4 from DangerDen, I'd wager. As such I have decided to swap it for a Davies-Craig EBP pump; practically identical, but with a shorter body, half the flow, but 15000+ hrs. MTBF. It is also reasonably quiet. Cathar runs one so he should be able to tell you more.

Not to pop your bubble, but the MCP600 is around. I know at least 5 stores in 4 different countries that supply them (Portugal, Uk, Spain and Netherlands).
But, 90+ ? price tag, plus shipping. A bit high on my wallet.

I'm gonna go though all the hassle of ordering a MCP600 from the US.

Anyway, the MCP is a good pump and I did consider it, but the Davies-Craig is of comparable performance and easier to fit in my particular setup, being pretty similar to the Johnson CM30P7-1 in certain physical aspects. Hence that choice. And it is available in several shops in the UK.
