iwaki pump.

[scumchug]

WMD = American motor (good)
MD = Japanese motor (best)

I have/had many different models of MD Iwaki pumps. I've only had the Japanese motor ones, so I can't comment on the American motors. From what I have read about other peoples opinions are that the American made motors last a long time, and the Japanese motors last forever. The largest I had was the 70, so I can't comment on the larger ones either. What I can say about the ones I have/had is that they are unbelievable. I have never had a problem with any of them. I have run them for years, and haven't even replaced a impeller. I have yet to use another brand of pump that can compare to Iwaki.
