Thanks for the offer, but most of the interest is here in Alberta.
Other than that, have you had any problems with it? Any info you have please feel free to post, good or bad. Thanks,
Bob

I have been running it since December 26th with good success. They are quiet pumps and very energy efficient at least at the low end. As you raise the RPM the wattage draw quickly increases. It will be interesting to see what happens when I need to pump water from the basement to my main display. Perhaps Ill try and get a video of what it sounds like as you ramp it up, Remind me in a few days.

Rob,
I have order three pumps total, 2-220v versions and 1-110v version. I am expecting them to arrive on Thursday. I was disappointed that no one else wanted to give one a try, as the price I received was very good. I got all three for less than one Abyzz. Feel free to pm me for details on ordering.

Ok so more importantly, how will u set this up electrically? I110 is easy as it just plugs in andis easy to install on a gcfi circuit for safety. One thing that i want is a battery backup.p option so if the power goes out, my pump continues to run. How will you wire up the 220 pumps?

Here are the first couple of pics, Im surprised on how small they are, hard to believe they'll push 6000 gph each.
Ill have two hooked up tomorrow.
Sorry for the crappy pics, used my phone.

The only pump i will have on a backup is a waveline DC-5000, which is another DC pump.
