Are madimack pumps a good cheap pump?
I always recommend Hayward or pentairs cause they are the best and are built to last for decades. My supply house reccomends them cause the warranty is 5 years and they say they are reliable. However I have one on my route and the touchscreen barely responds, has a thin cord, and takes longer to prime. I've watched enough AvE on YouTube and I can tell it's a cheap, disposable pump only made to last 5 years so they can sell new units, or discontinue their old line from 5 years ago and sell you a new different unit in the future. Personally I would pick the waterway power defenders with the nidec drives and glass fiber reinforced wet ends over the madimacks. But many of you have installed more pumps and equipment than I have so some Input would be great for me and my budget conscious customers
