not unless you want one used. And even then thats difficult. Not many owners really want to part with the pump.

of what i got from other forums is that if bought in bulk, per unit cost is reduced by a significant factor.. so i believe i ll have to gather a few others and order in bulk..
so anyone interested/

LOL....

okey let me tell you that story. This happened on XS systems. My friend phelan got his that way. They went on bulk though a vendor who sold them each pump at around 230 dollars a piece.

So unless you know the vendor who sells the pump cheap, i highly doubt it.


Also i know the vendor price for this pump at the vendor they get it from. There not making very much off it, because i bought mine directly from that vendor back when they didnt carry it.

Over at jab-tech they're $210.

i tried hunting for the pump in the local market but all they have are the italian ones, while are huge and pretty expensive too..
yup.. its cheapest at jab-tech.. although i dont think cheap is the word one should use for it..

No one said the RD-30 was cheap.

Also dont forget your going to need a meanwell S150-24 PSU to power it up. I dont recomend you plugging that thing directly to your PSU.

driving it wont be a problem with my custom made psu (40A@24V).. made it to support the TEC.. and with a pwm controller speed should be controllable too..
