Well my personal experience with my Quincy with the QT5 pump has been all bad from the day I bought it new but at least I only use it for home use. If your going that route buy the EW.

I got one of these also. Works great and VERY quiet.

We have 2 of those at work but 3 phase and auto tank drains. 9 years of 24/7 use operating automated valves and controls.:thumbup:
