![]() Unfortunately no it came from J&L so it's not a local trip. I've been emailing them about this but strangely they haven't offered to exchange it so maybe 6 weeks of use is past the warrantee-able period. It's not like these pumps are expensive, $25ish, ... it's just that I find it a bit annoying if I have to stockpile them and treat them as disposable if they are prone to doing this. Maybe it's something to do with the way I have it setup (too much backpressure from a 3/8" line of tubing about 8' long? Seems implausible but who knows).
I'm going to switch it to a gravity feed direct from the reservoir using a solenoid valve, that will simplify things but given that I can't get a solenoid valve before the weekend, I'm hoping I can just pick up a relay sometime today and use a powerhead instead. I have a drawer full of powerheads that all work fine and have no purpose otherwise so it makes sense just to use one of those. I feel like that line in that Alanis song, I have 10,000 spoons but what I really need is a knife. ![]()
