Missing pump

[Aquattro]

Anybody else get a bucket of IO salt with a free pump that isn't there? I find this out right when I need a small pump :mad:

Mine was buried about half way into the bucket of salt.

Not my bucket! I emptied it into an old bucket so I could get the pump!

What kind of pump, and how recent is this promotion? Is there a way to tell if the bucket you buy is part of the promotion?

I'm getting a bucket of IO salt today or tomorrow and I'd like to get a free pump if I could. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Andrew, it is a mini-jet.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I saw the promotion on the Aquarium Systems website on March 9 when I was doing some research on their Mini-jet pumps. I sent an Email to J&L asking them about it but they hadn't received any buckets with the pump yet until several weeks later.

The buckets with the pumps will have a yellow sticker on them that says "Free mixing pump $20 value. Mini-jet 404".

Its an excellent deal since the pump itself retails for $30 Cdn and plastic buckets are probably $5-$10. Its like paying $25-$30 for the salt mix. I haven't worked my way down the salt mix yet so I haven't seen the pump yet in my bucket.

I received one of them. Not sure what to use it for though. Perhaps for mixing drinks. ;)

The bucket that I bought was marked with a yellow sticker that said "Free Mini-Jet Pump" inside.

I use mine for mixing up my salt water.

Question: Why don't the manufactures mark the outside of the buckets with gradiants to show gallons of water. Then I wouldn't have to do it. :D
