Subject:flojet pump (non-submerging), O-rings
From:Felix Crunk
Date:Wed, 15 Jan 2003 19:01:13 EST

I just bought a flojet pump to replace my existing pump and i just realized
that it is not the kind that sits in the water, you mount it somewhere close
to the tank and then i think run a hose from the pump to the tank and also
from the pump to the faucet. anyway, before i install it i was wondering if
anyone has any experience with these pumps and how well they work.
thanks,~Gordy

I install about 10 of these flowjets a week in a very harsh enviroment.  In
street sweet sweeper water systems. I have found them to be very reliable if
you filter the suction side of the pump.  The majority of problems I see are
related to dirty water, freezing, or bad electrical connections.  If you have
any questions let me know.

In response to the O-ring dilemma.  I worked for John Deere Industrial for 8
years.  None of the new equipment came in with rtv on O-ring, only a light
coating of grease. The grease was to keep things slick, that is all.  O-ring
seal fine the way they come.
