I was working on installing my pumps on Barney last sunday. I have two chuggerpumps and a march, all retrofitted with chuggerpumps' center-inlet 3/4" NPT SS heads, which are outfitted with 1" Tri-clamp adapters.
While testing the pumps and hoses, one of the chuggerpumps started leaking from the rear housing. Thinking it may have been a mis-aligned o-ring, I disassembled the pump head, put everything back together and tried again.
No Luck. No matter how I positioned the o-ring or rear housing, it leaked. Finally I took apart one of my old 1/2" NPT housings, and used it.
Fixed it.
Since I wanted to keep the old housings in case of a problem, I decided to write to shoot chugger pumps an e-mail outlining the problem. This was late Sunday.
Less than 20 minutes later, I get a reply from Mike, offering to send me a new rear housing. I thanked him for his prompt attention to the matter.
Fast forward to today...
Not only did Mike send me TWO rear housings AND two silicon o-rings, he send me a complete new 3/4" center inlet pump head!!! :rockin:
Many Thanks, Mike, and you will definitely be on my "must buy" list.
