Be very gentle screwing in the barb on the outlet. Housing cracks way to easy...

Yeah, the housing. Darren said they were gonna CNC some housings out of aluminum, but I was thinking copper would be better (for my system) since it won't need to be anodized.

I believe they've stopped making these pumps so they're a close out item now so thats why they're cheap. Go here http://www.amekaaquatics.com/ and then go to Close-Out Items. |

EDIT: Picture attached ofthe 1300. The upper barb is the outlet and the housing is way thin around the barbs and cracks easy with the stock O-ring fittings that comes with it. That part is molded into the pump body and cannot be replaced (pretty sure). If I knew then what I know now I would have took the O-ring off the barb and sealed it with RTV silicone or similar. Or maybe your talking about milling a whole new pump or something? Last edited by jaydee116; 10-27-2004 at 05:23 PM. |

"Why BUY the best when you can MAKE better?!?"
hmm . . . I wonder what Hotseat would make of such a statement ? of course "best" and "better" are value judgments (if the BEST pump is a DIY effort, then all DIY pumps are ipso facto 'the best') despite many years experience using pumps, I would not presume to design a good pump - but my standards are admittedly high pump design is non-trivial if not confidential, what is the feature set of your better pump ? |

A DIY pump would probably be a finality to a complete DIY system. Thus my reason for buying the Via Aqua's as my complete system is actually quite for from being complete!! |
