We're having a cold spell today.

Dude i go to work at 0500. I was freezing my butt off this am, i had to put on the heater in my car, it was 61F. True story.
 
Of the pumps!

It wasn't that cold today but then again I had a long sleeve under my work shirt. Inside the stores were warmer then outside. LOL
 
I'm out at 5am almost every morning up here, sometimes earlier. I do power generation for cummins so depending on the site and the location I almost always have to get an early start.

I'll snap a pic of my pumps shortly though. I have them in the back of the van already doubled up and wired to a transformer
 
Interesting job.
I'm in charge of post production for 4 morning TV shows that air on Lifetime TV from 7-8 am Mon-Friday, so most (actually all) of my day is spent in an office behind a desk.

I'm picking up my all thread today and the barbed connections for the tubing today and my new tubing for the pumps should be here today.

I was an idiot and had them shipped to my house in stead of my office, so now my wife will see the package and ask what this is for.

I need a good excuse.
 
LOL. It didn't sink in at first.
No I think it is just replacement parts for something and when she asks how much it cost, the answer was it's under warranty.
 
I don't know if my wife really believes some of the things I tell her about the equipment, fish or coral I get.

I would think she was smarter than that.

I personally don't have a lot of friends, I'm kind of a loner, always was and I kind of like it that way, but for someone with not a lot of friends I have an awful lot of friend giving me things for my tank.
 
LOL, you guys are hilarious. I'm a refrigeration tech and I know what you guys are talking about.

I ended up ordering two myself or an up coming build. Keep us posted on pictures and info.

Registered Nurse here , Director of Nursing at an outpatient surgery center, First incision happens at 0700 sharp (no pun intended), leave at 0500 cause i commute to Miami, we have an hour to get the patients ready.

Sacohen- that looks like two pumps, how are you going to make sure going in will be = to going out?

rps- that why im always in bed by 9PM, not just cause im old, as you like to call me.
 
It is 2 pumps. That's what you need.
Unscrew the 4 screws on the pump head and the heads of the pumps come off and you can stack them on top of each other.

You will need to get longer screws or some #8 32 all thread and wing nuts to secure the heads now.
 
You'll end up with an extra motor, but you use the 8-32 all thread to make longer studs. Mount both pumps on a single motor since they're stackable, then they're equal
