RE: Shogun pump alternative

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

Well, Dan says that the thing appears to be all metal ... and I'll bet it is
directly driven.  I bought a _brand_new_ Audi style pump that lasted less
than two years before the plastic pump housing started to leak!  I can't
believe the P-pump costs more than 2x the Audi part ... and if it lasts more
than 4 years I'll be ahead of the game.  You've got two killers on the
plastic parts of the Audi pump, leaks at the sealing between the halves and
having the fittings get brittle and break off over time ... plus the
impeller can get stuck in the housing ... with the motor buzzing happily
away and pumping nothing!  I'm currently still leaning toward the Shogun,
but I like Dan's idea (AAMOF I just subscribed the 951 list to get more info
... :).

Cheers!
Steve
