I haven't decided about installing an electric pump...it's the whole thing with running wire, changing the house routing, etc. I'm not afraid of that process though, just like hooking up lights.

I have not had any mechanical pump problems until yesterday, and I limped that almost 2 months (definitely my bad) due to budget constraints. No $$ for my daily driver. I'm getting the new parts today, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to complete the project until tomorrow.
