RE: air pump
Hi Jay,
I am glad to hear that Hagen air pumps hold up. I have tried several of
their other products and can not discuss them on list due to personal
liability concerns.
Best regards,

Used to have one back in the 70's. It was a great pump. I have
been doing well for years now with Hagen Maxima pumps. They are reliable
and quiet too (and pretty cheap from PetWarehouse on the net), especially if
you hang them from rubber bands to eliminate vibration on surfaces.
