This is what I have read and heard as well. CE is only a valid standard in Europe, and basically just means Chinese export.

I will double check tomorrow when I go to work, I will give my ESA guy a call and verify CE, I am pretty sure it is accepted.

The CE certification is irrelevant because it has the c UL us, provided it's not counterfit.

The manufacturer of the power supply should have it, there is a place on the ESA website where you can see if it is listed.

I. Can't prove it but their claim to be ul etc is not true. Long story but it's counterfeit from what I was told. This is a big deal right now and ce means nothing here. Wp pumps are illegal across the country but Alberta and Quebec have less rules on this type of thing.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Forgot to mention from what I was told if your house burns down from this pump your insurance won't pay. I would love more clarification on this problem.
