I don't remember where I read about the Staber---That Home Site, perhaps--- but I recall seeing comments about them being noisy, with lots of vibration and prone to breakdowns. If you're good with repairs, that may not be such a big issue. Having made those less than glowing observations, I'm still glad there's an indie company out there trying something different. |

My 1999 F&P SmartDrive sat in 12" to 14" of water for about 8 hours back in November 2004, during a flash flood on Thanksgiving Day. I know both the SmartDrive motor and the pump motor were submerged. The power cord was still connected for some of the time, until we got there to rescue the grandmother. The SmartDrive motor does have current applied when power is connnected for a braking effect, even when the machine is otherwise "off." It does 'feel' like a stepping-motor, there's a vague cogging effect when turning it by hand. I let it dry out for about a week before giving it a try, and it has been running fine.
