[RE-wrenches] Replacement for the Shurflo 9325 pump....

[Allan Sindelar]

John and Jay,
What Windy wrote didn't jive with me, so I called him to check. Indeed 
there's an error, and Windy can address it later, as he was rushing out 
the door when I called.

Sunpumps is the respected successor to Solarjack of years gone by. The 
SunRotor was developed and is distributed by Solar Power and Pump, 
http://www.solarpowerandpump.com. The rest of the info is OK.
