Pump Getting Sluggish?

Wed May 17, 2006 10:23 pm

After years of use my March doesn't seem as happy as it used to be.

For those of you using a pump in your system; what is it and how long has it lasted before replacement?

I'm wondering if I cavitated during a session unknowingly and damaged it or if the poor bugger is just getting old...

Cheers,

I have only been using mine for the last 2 months and its the basic B3 pump. You might want to see Dr Scott about those cavities. :wink:

I ran the same one hard for 150+ batches and it never lost anything. It is probably still good for another 150+.

It did stop running once around batch 100 when I flooded the vents (where all the electronics are at) with water from the hose. I put it in the sun for a couple hours and it hasn't shown any problems.
I hope my post helped in some way. If not, please feel free to contact me.
