Cathar knows how many blocks he made and sold, but he would have no idea how many OC forum members have them and I believe that is the question.

[fafnir]

but how many total is good too right?

i mean who cares if they're oc.uk, cause they're no different than us right?

[[OC]This]

Dangggg.... nikhsub1 you got two???

[FIZZ3]

Haha check nikhsub1's signature; he has a cascade block too! :D

I have a White Water block too btw.

That's right. I was about to pipe up, but then realised what the thread was really asking.

I have no real idea how many WW blocks I sold were to OC.com forum regulars. I mean I can probably name about 20 from people/names I recognise, but there are probably more since there are plenty of "lurkers" in the forums.

In addition I respect people's privacy. I'm not about to dump out names because I am aware that there are plenty of people who I've sold to through forum references, yet some of these people never subsequently publically stated that they obtained a WW block. For whatever reasons thay have for not doing so, it's their choice to make and I won't deny them their privacy.

I'd have to look at the little box again, but off the top of my head it was #110.

I'm guessing that of the however many were made, the majority went to OCAU, OC, OCUK, Pro-Cooling or [H] members. I'm just interested (pretty anal, huh?)

[Cathar]

Actually surprisingly few went [H]'s way.

Despite all the critical acclaim for the White Water, the [H] forums seem to remain a staunch bastion of Swiftech loyalty and to a lesser extent Danger Den. If you go to the [H], you'll find that many won't have even heard of the White Water, some don't even know who DTek are, and many will just say "Swiftech is the best" and leave it at that.

Not that it bothers me much. I've got my hands very full.

[fafnir]

but really, cathar, how many have you sold total??

[Caeberos]

If i recall from a previous thread, i think the number was somplace around 160?

Not surprising at all actually...

[sandman001]

I'd geuss a few probably went to XS members also?

I hope you had help lapping them.

Nope. No help at all.

Mind you, that was 174 over about 5 months so it's not like I was lapping 174 in one month by hand.

[The Spyder]

any for sale? Or more being made?

DTek have taken over production of the White Water. I make the Cascade now in small quantities to pay off the research money I spent on it.

[Nico3k]

so you expect the d-tek ones to perform as well as the ones you made?

They did in my testing, or to be more correct, indistinguishable within the margins of error of my test setup.

[copyman]

I have a, 167 I find, I paid a fortune here in the brazil, I think two only came to my country, 150 American dollars I had to pay for one.

On all the senses, it was still worth the featherses the 150 dollars

I believe Cathar tests his blocks with a few different pumps, not just the 1048. I know the 1048 is one of them, along with a 1250 and an Iwaki MD-30RZT.
