I might just be a simple person here BUT I just use a 5 gallon bucket, a
sump pump and my torch to weld, if I weld hard it will warm the water nice
but for the most part it's fine.

And, thanks for your input, too, Ig.

Nope, tried calling mfg. and it was a 'cluster'.

I'm sure I will post more after I see and/or buy the Esab. I find it
strange that I can't find information on the model number of it:
DTA-250UM
even through google. I need a picture and specs. and so far, no cigar.

Call the manufacturer, you will have your answer is 5 minutes.

Jon,

If it is a.c., does this sound like a good deal in spite of the fact
(verified) that one cannot get parts for it any longer?

I don't like going from a potential of 300 amps to 250 amps but I want
a
tig
machine!

That's a good price for a machine with a water cooler. The water
cooled torches aren't expensive, but the coolers are.

If you really need 300 amps you can trade up later. You can TIG a
lot of aluminum at 250 amps and less.
