it is the same thats what i was getting at lol...as far as the housing goes anyways........ power supplies to my understanding are a better quality which have been a huge pain so far for these dc pump...all dc pumps in fact.

at the end of the day its the same body and housing , for us with warranty the power supplies are causing us the most grief and the controllers are a close second, the pumps themselves we have had some good luck with

Default Power Supply ?

So here's my dumb Q. Are we sure its a "crappy" power supply ? If it is/can be proven, why not just go back to the manufacturer(s) & get them to replace/recall them with better ones ? I just got a 1320 replaced under warranty & would have been willing to change out the power supply, for a trial, after reading these posts.
Albert, you're up lol.

I replaced mine with another power supply then my controller died

A electrition friend of mine built his own and rewired the controller then his pump siezed

All these pumps have a life line of about 6 mths maybe a year lol

Still though new gens seem to do better then the first did wave line was no exceptiom and their new models seem to do good more time will tell though
