There's no question it's a terrible design, the cord is at a crazy angle, and for whatever reason the resin they use in the pumps is crap, allowing water into the internals of the pump. I leaked voltage for about 6 months before I figured out where it was coming from... crap crap crap.
Do we need to go here again.... No need for the haters to be coming out against SWC.
Some ZAKK guy had the same misconceptions about a year back :? :? :? :?
I run the SWC 160 Cone, and I know many others who do and it is great bang for the buck.
If you can get one, grab it.
There have been issues reported with the pump, however with proper maintenance you should have no issues. Keep it clean.
Also the Red Devil pump can replace the Atman if neccessary.
Check out this thread from last year, nothing has changed.
