the NT pumps are not the same as the HF pump.
Much better from what i hear.

I purchased the NT pump and for an additional $10.99 you get a 2 year replacement warranty. (its a one time replacement only). I have only ran 50 gallons through it but it seems to work fine. The thing I hate the most about it is getting it primed. It is not self priming... My Vegiestroke should be here tomorrow!

Hey bro, forgot to tell you this the other day, mount the pump BELOW the barrel (or HWH) and you will not have to worry about priming. O and you better have that veggie kit running when I get back from cali in a week! I wanna see it in action

My water pump has pumped more then 10,000 gallons in the past couple months. Many have success with them. I see all over people saying to watch out for them catching fire, well this is proof and an explanation of why they catch fire! I have only read of people saying o I know a guy who knows a guy…. Well this is something I have seen first hand and it popped with me standing 10 feet from it!

I agree. I had a heck of a time keeping that pump primed but since I moved my pick up tube and pump I haven't lost prime since.

Bump for the new Vid

I also found that different loads on the pump changed the voltage across the cap a little....
