iwaki pumps

Whats the difference between iwaki japanese pumps and iwaki american pumps?

This may sound stupid, but the motors are made in Japan or America. There is also a big different in price. I have no experience with the American pump, but the Japanese pump is super quiet, runs cool and very reliable. I am running the Iwaki MD40 RLT for over 10 years with no problems.

Japanese motors are better.

The Japanese pumps cost more, but run quieter and cooler.

Yeah, I have used the Iwaki Japanese version and found it to be reliable and quiet. Check with Champion lighting. They should still sell them.

Go with the japaneese model, worth the money, have one pumping from the basement and hasnt let me down yet, knock on wood.
