That's awesome. I don't do anything cool like that with them, I just have a bunch floating around that I use for mixing water.

Hold for awhile than finally dump them due to impellers not available or for <$10 more I can have new pump.

my friends think my house is a swap meet for equipment. One guy just starts rummaging around and goes "can i long-term borrow this"?

I'm using one right now trying to make a rogue RBTA uncomfortable in hopes of getting it to come loose so I can grab it. It's causing havoc on its neighbors.

Here's a neat trick to remove him. Get a cup,put ice in it as well as a little water. Put a butter knife in cup. Hang the NEM. upside down over a container of water. Now use a very cold blade and touch around bottom of foot till he let's go. Or try carefully try to peel him off rock, a little at a time.
Good Luck ;)

PS: RBTA's love water movement alot!! :oops:

Thanks for the tip. I read about the ice on the foot trick, but my problem is its foot is buried very deeply in my base rock. We are talking total tear down in order to remove rock, all for a split. Very frustrating.
