      I'm amazed at how the quality of components can be determined by looking at pictures.

      My draco one looks pretty. It has a number display, buttons to push, knobs to rotate. Its like being a toddler with a new toy. Truthfully though, any controller that does its job without breaking or failing is probably a good controller. I am sure anyone with an RDF hooked up and running could probably agree on that.

      to explain their statement and weigh the value with how much experience with the product the poster has.




      My BE has a great drum and never had a problem with it. The drum seems to not be a very difficult part to make correctly. The spray bar
      works great too. How much more do the components cost on the Profi than the others? If they cost more they work better?
      I have never made any reference to the be but if you are happy with it then good for you.

      You missed my point. My BE often times doesn't work worth a crap but has a great drum, screen, spray bar... all in shiny stainless
      steel. The fact that something is stainless steel and is well built means zero if the other components don't work. Saying that it's
      metal instead of plastic and that it costs more somehow makes it superior is not correct imo.

      Steve, the frame for the whole drum it self is stainless and will not flex over time compare to plastic and when you have moving parts, I would rather take SS parts. Long story short, I had the motor on the Profidrum running 24/7 none stop for 4 straight days when I had a water fall leak and it's still working. That's is quality !!!!

      The bottom line is we are lucky to have RDF in the US to enjoy, assuming the two leading brands are reliable. I can only report on product I use which is Profidrum.

      That's awesome! But do you see how trashing another RDF with as much proof as those that you have contempt for because of their
      "Marketing" tactics makes you on the same level? If you like your RDF better just because you do, that's fine! Just say so and people
      can weigh that with the proper importance when they go to purchase their own. But because something is stainless steel, or has
      components that look better in a picture and claiming one is better than the other based strictly on that is doing the same as those
      you're condemning.

      The BE has an all metal drum too.

      Do you have an example of a plastic framed drum flexing and having a problem or is this just an assumption?

      Well I bet the same could be said for you and those selling the Red Label.

      All I'm asking for is something other than people saying "it's better" just because. Same goes for
      those bashing a Profi... ask for more than just their say so and if they can't produce it then I think nothing else
      needs to be said and people should put it in the category of opinion and nothing more.

      I don't think I've bashed anything. The only thing I think I've done is ask for an example when something is claimed as "better".
      I didn't realize asking for details to a claim warranted bashing.

      Why?
      If someone said you can put a settling chamber below pond level and gravity feed it straight from a BD
      and it will work fine and not overflow when the pump is off, would you believe them and not question how
      that could be? Of course not! Because you know it's not true.
      The same goes for a claim about a filter that seems wrong. Hey, maybe the guy with the SC CAN make it
      work... but if they can't explain how it works, would you try it? Same goes for a claim about a RDF or
      any other filter. If the person making the claim, good or bad, but can't back it up with examples or fact, it
      goes in the crap pile imo.
