Sweet!  It runs nice and smooth, and the load from the pump/water is not bothering it. Well done!!

Thanks all. I've just taken it apart to do a bit of painting - well priming (priming a pump haha!). I like the grey colour so might just leave it like that.

Always fun taking things apart and putting them back together  ::)

That looks great, I like the plainer colours, very modern with sharp lines ........fluro green may not work :Lol:

All construction is now done but I'll need to paint it properly as I managed to scratch off some of the primer during reassembly, but I like the grey colour. Took some video which I'll splice together and upload tomorrow.

That's running and pumping well, chipped paint may be down to needing an etch primer for brass.

Thank you :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

I did use etching primer Jason, but I didn't leave it the recommended 24 hours to cure (in too much of a rush as usual).
