Hi guys, got this awesome machine at a great cost. All she needed was a few minor things, such as the dispenser dish, shower, and a PF. This SM has that extra power wire that plugs into an external water pump. I realize last night when I turned her on, the machine doesnt have an internal water pump. From what I read, it seems to use an external water pump hence the extra wires coming out of the machine.

Which brings me to my question. What kind of water pump can I buy for this? I am assuming I cant buy those 60 dollars water pump from amazon as they are rated below 50psi. Would I need a water pump that is capable of producing 130psi (9 bars)? Do I HAVE to use an original pump? Amazon sells a 150PSI water pump for about 200. Would that work?
