Title: Readers ̶w̶i̶v̶e̶s̶ ̶ pumps.
Post by: Julian on June 09, 2013, 12:48:25 PM
Trying to tidy the garage, so thought I'd do a pump line up while I was at it ...

With another three on the processor.

For some reason i thought your monos were mms, but theyre identical to mine.

I thought you had some leo units also?

As far as I'm aware, the only difference between an MM and an ML is the motor speed and hence the flow.

The Leo I have is one of the three fitted to the processor.

For some reason id always thought the MM was the stubby one...

It seems i assumed wrong... (i guess it was as i knew mine was an ML, so i just thought the 'other one' must be the MM!)

Nope, the stubby one is an MS, that's another of the three fitted to the processor.

Julian you have a pump problem.

Also with all these pumps to hand why are you still struggling with low flow Leo on your plant.

Spend a few hours improving the one you've got, bigger pump, less restrictive pipework ect ect,
then you'll either have time to build the new one or find you don't need it.

What is it with men and pumps, Why do I buy 4 or 5 at a time just 'cause they're a bargain?

I had 7, YES 7 on one plant and loads of pumps just sitting on shelves.

Perhaps we have a gene similar to the female shoe Gene.
