Heard a old timer at the parts counter say 'they don't make pumps like they used to'
I was picking up a new impeller for our 12-inch Ellicott at the supplier in St. Louis last week and an old guy getting a gasket set just said that out of nowhere. Made me think about how we run our 2008 model with barely any downtime while the new digital controlled rigs on the site are always getting electrical gremlins. Has anyone else noticed the older machines being more reliable than the newer fancy ones, or is it just me?

Funny how the old timer says that, but I bet he hasn't had to deal with a blown seal from an old impeller that's out of spec. All those new digital gremlins? Usually just a loose connection or a firmware update away from being fixed. The 2008 model just has simpler problems, not better ones.

You ever have an old pump run perfect for 15 years straight? Ive seen it a dozen times.
