I did notice that, but us Canadians are low key and I didn't want to bring it up :p I'm surprised you couldn't find some replacement pump, if you still had the body I bet an RO varios skimmer pump would work.
So it had a crank pump? Like a well? ;Hilarious

Yeah that's right, us Canadian reefers are ripped from hand pump skimming. Only reason those skimmers ever stopped was if you were weak and at that point we booted you south across the border. ;)

How do you think @Why-Me ended up in Wisconsin?

Doing better but still collecting water. It runs a lot slower when I plug the hole for the silencer. I have it raised so much that the gate valve drain is above water.

I tagged you in another thread. I think the video might help dial yours in.

So raised it all the way to only 5” and it seems to be working I think.

I’ll be disappointed if you all don’t give me crap for at least a few months for this mistake.

No way. We are all there with equipment sometimes.
