The crack about the barb size was a generalization, and will not always hold true.
The pump's basic description isn't accurate. The "most popular" isn't relevant.
The reason for thick tubing isn't mentionned. What's popular is again irrelevant. A hardware store is also a good source, and much cheaper!
Good tip on mounting a pump.
There seems to be a huge emphasis on the heat that a pump provides, and although it's a factor, it's not accurate enough, and doesn't show the necessary level of understanding of it. By that standard, my Little Giant 2-MDQ-SC would be a very bad choice (180+ Watts), while my Johnson pump would be excellent (26W), even though they have a similar performance.
No mention of a critical component: the TIM joint.
No mention of additives.
No mention of mixing metals.
Ok, sorry to be so rough, but those are my comments, straight up!
