Brian,
I am glad the new pump has arrived, working well and you are a happy camper
Just to set the record straight, I am NOT representing William. You can trust that my tests will be up front and factual. My name and integrity level are things I hold dear to my heart and would never jeopordize. Yes, I am a Lim product supporter and have been for many years. But when I find something wrong, I have no problems telling william or anyone else and William knows this. After I get done with my tests, I am shipping the pump off to Roark for him to put through additional test and hopefully verify whatever findings I determine. Both Roark and myself have always "called'em as we've seen'em".
I will make a note that it is pretty standard practice to bench test pumps and base decisions off of these tests. But often times bench testing doesn't tell the whole story, especially when circumstances are found to be substantially similar to other problems when they turn out to be systems issues instead of pump issues. In other words, historical data indicates one thing so you make the decision based on that...when there could still be possible other issues that only factually surface using non standard tests (other than bench testing).
As soon as possible after that I will present my results/opinions to Roark, William and Brian.
