There seems to be an underlying theme here and that is that Vortech owners like the product in that it provides a rich feature set. On the other side of the coin, they feel that a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR pump should be of a quality that should not have inferior bearings in it that are either noisy or fail after a a year or so of use.

I have to say that I agree with that, 100%

If I'm honest, that's what makes me anxious about buying the product. AND, it should be added, I have a full shop and changing the bearings on either side does not scare me in the least; I just don't see why I should have to when I'm spending that kind of money for a pump.
