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?

Pumps arrived
 
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.

Should be up in 24hrs. I am dying to see how they preform, the control will be basic until I can get the newer and programmable controller, but I can ramp the pump from 10 to 100%, pulse(but too what degree Im not sure) I know with the new controller that is coming out I can pulse, so no wave makers in the tank at all, feed mode, day/night mode etc etc....

I glued my pump directly to 2 2" chemical true union ball valves this way i can remove the pump itself for cleaning or service. Just make sure you use cleaner and pvc to abs transition cement if you decide to go this route.

Cheers

Won't pulsing your return pump wreak havoc on the level of water in your skimmer section? I would think this would only work if you have a recirculating skimmer (most don't).
