We have been running 2X25 sabertooths in the UK for 3 or more years now, we have had considerable problems with them , the unit will without warning burn itself out or often even develop a mind of its own and go on the rampage. they do look like the answer to electric sc in our tanks but I think they are only a short term solution.
