Done deal, I'll head out on tuesday after work to see if I can get one then.

It's not like you should regret the purchase of the Rio Hyperflow. It is a good pump. I just found the longevity factor with it wasn't there though compared to others

Appreciate your honesty and info. I'm glad to know about it now and learn this from your experience because it's not something I would have known. Going to try to see if I can return the Rio and get something better on tuesday. I accidently thru out the receipt last week for it
so Im going to see if they will still take it back in exchange of a better pump. Will keep you all posted. Thanks again for all the info-MUCHLY appreciated. Every single piece of equipment I got, I got because of the advice someone gave me, so hopefully we'll keep making some good decisions!
