I Have been using one of my Pentaflex pumps for about 4 months now.
I am taking it out of my setup for chem application, and reinstalling my
beloved Delavan 5850. Too much chemical application and waste for me
with the Pentaflex.
During my change over, I decided to install an electrical distribution block.
It is capable of 40A, but I installed a 30A main fuse, just cause I like to play it safe.
Here are some pics:
Pic 1 - Block installed. I run my 5850 on a 15 amp fuse as this pump is rated at 13amps max
Notice: I have 2, 15 amp fuses installed side by side. If one blows all I have to do
is unplug the pump and plug it in to the next spot. Pentaflex uses 25 Amp Fuse.
Pic 2 - Pentaflex will be plumbed for Water Rinsing only (drawing from a Buffer/Float tank)
Pic 3 - My Hi Flow pump is used exclusively for Pure SH transfers (It is plumbed w/ 3 way ball valves)
Pic 4 - The 5850 running w #30 tip 0deg. It is running at 104.5 watts, Drawing 8.91 Amps, and pulling 11.73 Volts
Pic 5 - The 5850 pulled 17.68 Maximum Amps at start up
Pic 6 - The 5850 used .3 Ah out of my 125 Ah battery ( I ran 10 Gal. of water through it)
Pic 7 - The Pentaflex running dry not even plumbed is running at 40.6 watts, Drawing 3.38 Amps, and pulling 12.04 Volts
Pic 8 - The Pentaflex Pulled a Maximum of 8.63 Amps at start up (Dry)
Hope this helps/inspires some.

Here are the components I used and links to were I purchased them.
These are items used in the Ham Radio / Amature Radio Community
Pic 1 - RigRunner 4005H LINK HERE
Pic 2 - 15 Amp Power Pole Connectors LINK HERE
Pic 3 - 30 Amp Power Pole Connectors LINK HERE
Pic 4 - 45 Amp Power Pole Connectors LINK HERE
Power Pole Connectors are Unisex, and fit each other. There is no Male / Female,
and the 15,30 and 45 amp connectors fit each other.
Pic 5 - Doc Wattson Power Meter LINK HERE
I love these connectors and I bet others will also.
I'll be adding a remote chemical injection system next.
