Better left on the shelf. 
| Installation and Operation |
Goes in like any other external pump. A little big for the amount of water it pushes. Maintenance is no different than any other pump.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
The pump struggles! It is loud, it is hot, and it does not come close to hitting the published GPH at max head. I had to plumb it twice to see if I could improve the performance. No luck... This pump replaced a quite one that failed after 12 yrs. I will replace this little giant after 2 months.

Keep shopping.
| Installation and Operation |
Operation was easy with most all external pump you just take them out of the box and they are ready to run.
Operation was ok but I felt they were a bit on the loud side and pulled more current than higher rated pumps.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
This Pump performed well. Lots of flow for the compact size and I would say in that regard for flow it meet all my expectations.
This pump was much louder than I expected. Even in a in wall tank with the bump in the back room I could still hear it.
|
| Value for money |
They are too expensive. No unique engineering just a plain old magnetic drive pump. Not sure why they cost so much but anymore that is a deal breaker for me.
|
| Customer Support |
I never needed any support for this pump.
|
| Liked about it |
It was nice and compact. If your looking for a pump to fit in to a small place you may want to consider this pump but that is really the only thing I liked about this pump.
|
| Didn't like |
The noise this was a very loud pump
The price I feel it is very over priced!
