What is boring is waiting for your final leak test.


I guess I should take a picture of it not leaking...

The final leak test has long been done.


Oh. I must have missed it being posted that the pump leak was fixed,
by replacing the seal, etc...

The o-ring search is merely long-overdue maintenance.

BTW, if you ever need o-rings, I know now, from my
price survey, that these two outfits are exactly
the same price (at usually pennies each):

BEST:
1. http://oringwarehouse.com
2. http://theoringstore.com

And these outfits are ten times more expensive, but,
still at about a dollar or two, the prices are fine:

GOOD:
3. http://mfpseals.com
4. http://www.oringsusa.com
5. http://www.onlineorings.com

These (pool-oriented) guys are 100x more expensive:

WORST:
6. http://www.inyopools.com
7. http://www.hottubworks.com

This simple summary above, I had not known, until someone
(Oren?, krw?) I don't remember who ... suggested we source
o-rings (and bearings) by trade size.
