LOL. Brad, I knew that would be your response

hehe, I was warned, but I'm a little hard-headed sometimes. Next time I will certainly listen when someone here issues a warning. The bad news was that I had ordered it before I got a reply to my first thread (just didn't admit it, and I'm impatient).
Well, I did like the anodized res (looked nice and was about the right size). I just hope I can find another pump that will fit in it so I can reuse it.
Oh, and Phae, you were right, No warranty because I used antifreeze for its anti-corrosion properties to keep my system from being F*ed up. LOL, what a joke. Well, you can't help it when people do something stupid and don't heed a warning.
Looks like I am joining the OCH hater club. What a piece of crap.
