  1. Would it upset you guys that much if you find out an American-based or European-based company or brand has their products made in some third-world country?

    Even Iwaki pumps are now made in China.

    I also remember this line from Armageddon, on board the Russian space station or was it the space shuttle.... "American components or Russian.... ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!" :lol:

    AT,

    At least you will see the those American product stamp with the words "Made in Taiwan".

    Kudos to Australia Trade Practice Act that all goods must declare the country that made the product. i.e, you will see Esprit with the label "Made in China".

    my 2 cents.

  2. haha..until he complains about power consumption, spending 8 X $280 is not very viable too! but i'll keep tt in mind

    just change one & try ... :P

    My dad changed his pump 1 year ago when the orignal one failed.... notice higher flow & lower PUB bills .. now he is a happy man . :D:D

  3. dude, agree that it is a good pond pump..but dun think can use for marine..check out all those metallic parts in contact with the water? dunno about it being subjected to pressure load but usually such pumps r flow pumps. oh yeah one more critical prob with such pumps..they r direct shaft driven, meaning they have a dynamic seal with infilled oil to run without shorting..tt means they have relative shorter life span compared to magnetic pumps..the seal needs to be replace every now and then depending on the operation condition..most ppl will think that the pump konked when the dynamic seal is worn out and short..but can be fixed easily..

    ya .. not for marine but for fresh water pond , e.g. Koi pond. Since you complaint about the pump for your dad's pond.

  5. nothing to be proud of, but the house i stay in pays PUB on the average $800+ per mth.. mostly contributed by my tank and my dad's pond..his stupid inefficient pond pumps are rated at 880w per pump and he has 8 of them running..but not all at the same time..

    mx100 seemed like a better buy!

    Bro, should change to the omni pump which draw 150 watts & push out 220 litres/min ASAP... I think selling about $280 ...

    imagine the saving in electricity bills :eyebrow:
