Interesting... I put temp sensors on mine because I fear over-temp condition. is it more important to watch pressure??

Use a 200 PSI gauge. Yes, pressure is more important. If you have enough cooler (we recommend 2x8 bundle) if they get hot they are already dead. Fluctuating pressure (#1 cause of failure) can indicate low fluid level before any damage is done.

That's low. We won't ship one that won't hold 80 PSI @500 rpm hot. Pull the regulator apart and see what color spring is in it. Should be black. There is a white spring that was used for a while in an effort to drop the pressure (therefore less power used to turn the pump) but experience has shown that you do need more preesure.
