I am still waiting for Vincent to put out a portable that runs on two 15 amp cords with his direct coupled pump above.
Until then....it's just talk, and we are back to reality.
The pump-tec AC motors are rock solid, like any other AC motor (think 175 rotary).
The Aluminum pump heads are fine, (If you don't run caustic Bane chems through them), it's the wear items like seals and checkvalves that will require the annual rebuild if you use it everyday, or run 180 deg. water through them....it is what it is, a low amp draw, compact, efficient pump option.
