well... according to UPS, My ATI BubbleMaster 160 will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. I'm sort of pumped to have some new toys to play with, just thought I would share with y'all. Cheers and have a Happy Hump Day...

Nice, post some pictures when you have a chance.

will do... I snapped a few in the first half hour of break in, seems to be churning nicely. Trying to read up on them and how to set them, appears to be a little finicky when adjusting the built in gate valve. Nice construction, very quiet. The pump is housed inside the body, which makes for an interesting first couple tries getting it up and running. The mesh wheel wasn't spinning when initially plugged in, which prompted me to disassemble the housing and play with it a bit. I sheared a couple stray pieces of mesh off and she was off and running. So after pulling the pump out and playing with it 3 or 4 times to get it running properly, I'm an old pro at installation now. I'll keep taking pics over the next week or so and post the updates. Looks promising.
