Taco Vertical Turbine Pumps

[kkoss]

Taco introduced a vertical turbine pump line earlier this year. I am looking for someone that has some experience with them and can give me good (or bad) reference data.

As of right now they are giving me the most competitive pricing on a project, but I don't want to be the first to install them and find issues 1 year down the road.

I could probably just stick with the Goulds, but there is a significant price difference.

I haven't heard anything about these Taco verticals, but from what I've heard in the past I would think you will get exactly what you pay for, and probably a whole lot more of what you don't.
