[RE-wrenches] Reliable 48 to 24 V DC to DC reducer

Ray,

The pumps you recommend seem like very solid units. Have you had 
problems with the El Sid pumps?

My concerns are that the TACO and Grundfos pumps I've found are over 
80 W each, running on AC. If the El Sid are reliable, I'd prefer to 
stay with the low power usage and DC. Do either of these companies 
make any low wattage DC pumps?

Thanks,

Drake
