I've ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet. Wayne, do you know what
diameter drive pulley he used? I will need to know so that I can drive it
at the right RPM. HF doesn't say what the maximum RPM is. I have a 3450
RPM 15 amp, 230 V motor, but will get a 20 amp (5-hp) if necessary. It
would be nice if I can use the smaller motor I already have.

If this is the V twin 5hp you're talking about, a friend bought one a
few months back. He's very happy with it, and can't get over what a
bargain it was. It's a large pump, but very quiet with dual intake
filters. Powered nicely by an older 15A 230V motor labeled 3hp.
