Reeflo using Mexican not USA motors

wazel · 07/08/2010, 06:07 PM

Reeflo is sending out Hammerhead Gold pumps with Mexican made motors not the made in USA Baldor motors that they state on their website. I have two HHG's My first one has the Mexican motor and has given me nothing but trouble, I received my second HHG today and it is equipped with the Baldor motor. Its to early to tell if the american made pump is going to leak like the mexican made one, but the Baldor is clearly a higher quality motor. Also makes me wonder what the heck is going on at Reeflo !!!

That would seriously burn my shorts...you bought it new? how long have you used it? and for the sake of Pete, have they responded to your e-mails asking politely what they were thinking and how they going to make it right?

On the occasion I spend extra for an American/local product (my water heater was made (assembled) in Middleville, MI) I expect to be completely satisfied.
