Default Dolphin Ampmasters

Hello,

Wow, what a great discussion. A few comments:

1) I can not imagine the power cord be dissipating "that much" power. It is impossible for the cord to have enough impedance to cause that much of line loss.

2) I believe Steve was looking for the word "induction motor", which I think is what the Ampmaster and pretty much all of the pump motors we see are using. These motors do draw more power as the load is increased until the peak "pullout torque" or "breakdown torque" has been reached.

3) I do not like it when manufacturers are not telling the whole truth. This is the same in the audio industry. However, for the very few high end companies they do tell the truth.

4) And yes, the Ampmaster is still a good pump.
