...how's that pump holding up?
It seems real good. It's a Danner brand pump, and they do last, and I am using a pre-filter so that helps a lot as in it keeps all sticks and leaves and any larger debris from being forced through the pump. Danner makes top notch pumps and with a piece of mechanical equipment meant to run constantly, it's no place to go cheap.
Danner has 2 levels or categories of pumps, the commercial ones have a five year warranty and the consumer models have a two year warranty. The biggest difference is the appearance. The commercial ones look all work-like and modular and the consumer models look more friendly with nice curved case and a stupid little handle, but if kept in proper condition, these pumps last beyond the warranty.
