DC booster pump [RE-wrenches]

[Howie Michaelson]

Hi Jeff,

My experience with the Shurflo booster pumps has actually been pretty
good.  As long as sand and grit are kept out of the diaphragm they have
lasted many years for me.  The do set up a decent vibration so it helps to
use several feet of tubing on either side, to anchor it to a solid base
that is vibration isolated well, and to sound insulate the whole setup as
best possible.  I have no experience with other booster pumps, mostly
because the shurflo has worked well enough for me and my clients...
